Lyrics

Verse 1

A mighty fortress is our God,
A bulwark never failing
Our Helper He, amid the flood
Of mortal ills prevailing
For still our ancient foe
Doth seek to work us woe
His craft and pow’r are great,
And, armed with cruel hate
On earth is not his equal

Verse 2         

Did we in our own strength confide,
Our striving would be losing
Were not the right Man on our side,
The Man of God’s own choosing
Dost ask who that may be?
Christ Jesus, it is He
The Lord of hosts His name,
From age to age the same
And He must win the battle

Chorus          

Praise The One!  Who reigns forever!
Though persecution comes
We will not fear
For Christ Has won!
And now no power!
Can separate us
From His love and care.

Verse 3         

And though this world with devils filled
Should threaten to undo us
We will not fear, for God hath willed
His truth to triumph through us
The Prince of Darkness grim,
We tremble not for him
His rage we can endure,
For lo, his doom is sure
One little word shall fell him

Verse 4         

That word above all earthly pow’rs,
No thanks to them, abideth
The Spirit and the gifts are ours
Through Him who with us sideth
Let goods and kindred go,
This mortal life also
The body they may kill;
God’s truth abideth still
His kingdom is forever

Chorus          

Praise The One!  Who reigns forever!
Though persecution comes
We will not fear
For Christ Has won!
And now no power!
Can separate us
From His love and care.
