A Mighty Fortress Is Our God

Author: Martin Luther, 1483-1546 Meter: 8.7.8.7.5.5.5.6.7 Appears in 27 hymnals Scripture: John 12:31-33 Lyrics: 1 A mighty fortress is our God, a trusty shield and weapon; he helps us free from ev'ry need that has us now o'ertaken. The old evil foe now means deadly woe; deep guile and great might are his dread arms in fight; on earth is not his equal. 2 With might of ours can naught be done, soon were our loss effected; but for us fights the valiant one whom God himself elected. You ask, "Who is this?" Jesus Christ it is, the almighty Lord, and there's no other God; he holds the field forever. 3 Though devils all the world should fill, all eager to devour us, we tremble not, we fear no ill: they shall not overpow'r us. This world's prince may still scowl fierce as he will, he can harm us none. He's judged; the deed is done; one little word can fell him. 4 The Word they still shall let remain nor any thanks have for it; he's by our side upon the plain with his good gifts and Spirit. And take they our life, goods, fame, child, and wife, though all may be gone, our victory is won; the kingdom's ours forever!

Thou my Savior art! Thou my Savior art! 2 Come from on high to me; I cannot rise to thee. Cheer my wearied spirit, O pure and holy Child; Through Thy grace and merit, Blest Jesus, Lord most mild, Draw me unto Thee! Draw me unto Thee! 3 Now through His Son doth shine The Father's grace divine. Death was reigning o'er us Through sin and vanity Till He opened for us A bright eternity. May we praise Him there! May we praise Him there! 4 Oh, where shall joy be found? Where but on heav'nly ground? Where the angels singing With all His saints unite, Sweetest praises bringing In heav'nly joy and light, Oh, that we were there! Oh, that we were there!
