A Mighty Fortress

A mighty fortress is our God, a sword and shield victorious
He breaks the cruel oppressor's rod, and wins salvation glorious
The old satanic foe has sworn to work us woe
With craft and dreadful might he arms himself to fight
On earth he has no equal

No strength of ours can match his might, we would be lost, rejected
But now a champion comes to fight, whom God himself elected
You ask who this may be, the Lord of hosts is he
Christ Jesus Mighty Lord, God's only Son, adored
He holds the field victorious

God's Word forever shall abide, no thanks to foes who fear it
For God himself fights by our side with weapons of the Spirit
Were they to take our house, goods, honor, child or spouse
Though life be wrenched away, they cannot win the day
The Kingdom is forever
