A Mighty Fortress is Our God
By: Martin Luther

Verse 1 (Organ)
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 3
And thoÕ 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
