Capo 3
[Verse]
G D C G
A mighty fortress is our God,
Em G C D G
A bulwark never failing;
D C G
Our helper he amid the flood
Em G C D G
Of mortal ills prevailing.
Em Asus A D
For still our ancient foe
G C Em
Doth seek to work us woe;
Asus A D
His craft and pow'r are great;
Em Am Em
And armed with cruel hate,
G C D G
On earth is not his equal.
[Verse]
G D C G
Did we in our own strength confide,
Em G C D G
Our striving would be losing;
D C G
Were not the right Man on our side,
Em G C D G
The Man of God's own choosing.
Em Asus A D
Dost ask who that may be?
G C Em
Christ Jesus, it is he,
Asus A D
Lord Sabaoth his name,
Em Am Em
From age to age the same,
G C D G
And he must win the battle.
[Verse]
G D C G
And though this world, with devils filled,
Em G C D G
Should threaten to undo us,
D C G
We will not fear, for God hath willed
Em G C D G
His truth to triumph through us.
Em Asus A D
The prince of darkness grim,
G C Em
We tremble not for him;
Asus A D
His rage we can endure,
Em Am Em
For lo! his doom is sure;
G C D G
One little word shall fell him.
[Verse]
G D C G
That Word above all earthly pow'rs,
Em G C D G
No thanks to them, abideth;
D C G
The Spirit and the gifts are ours
Em G C D G
Through him who with us sideth;
Em Asus A D
Let goods and kindred go,
G C Em
This mortal life also;
Asus A D
The body they may kill:
Em Am Em
God's truth abideth still;
G C D G
His kingdom is for-ev-er.
