(G)A Mighty (D)Fortress (Em)is (A)our (D)God,
(G)A (Bm)Bulwark (G)never (Am)fa(D)il(G)ing.
(G)Our Helper (D)He a(Em)mid (A)the (D)flood
(G)Of (Bm)mortal (G)ills pre(Am)va(D)il(G)ing,
For (G)still our (Asus4)an(A)cient (D)foe
Doth (G)seek to (C)work (B)us (Em)woe.
His (Em)craft and (A)power are (D)great,
And (C)armed with cruel (B)hate,
(G)On (Bm)earth is (G)not his (Am)e-(D)e(G)qual!

(G)Did we in (D)our own (Em)strength (A)con(D)fide
(G)Our (Bm)striving (G)would be (Am)lo-(D)o-(G)sing
(G)Were not the (D)right Man (Em)on (A)our (D)side,
(G)The (Bm)man of (G)God's own (Am)cho(D)o(G)sing.
Dost (G)ask who (Asus4)that (A)may (D)be?
Christ (G)Jesus (C)it (B)is (Em)He!
Lord (Em)Saba(A)oth His (D)Name,
From (C)age to age the (B)same,
(G)And (Bm)He must (G)win the (Am)ba-(D)at(G)tle!

(G)And though this (D)world with (Em)de(A)vils (D)filled
(G)Should (Bm)threaten (G)to un(Am)do(D)o (G)us,
(G)We will not (D)fear for (Em)God (A)has (D)willed
(G)His (Bm)truth to (G)triumph (Am)throu(D)gh (G)us.
The (G)prince of (Asus4)dark(A)ness (D)grim,
We (G)tremble (C)not (B)for (Em)him,
His (Em)rage we (A)can en(D)dure,
For (C)lo his doom is (B)sure,
(G)One (Bm)little (G)Word shall (Am)fe-(D)ell (G)him!

(G)That Word a(D)bove all (Em)earth(A)ly (D)powers
(G)No (Bm)thanks to (G)them a(Am)bi-(D)i-(G)deth.
The (G)Spirit (D)and the (Em)gifts (A)are (D)ours
(G)Through (Bm)Him Who (G)with us (Am)si-(D)i-(G)deth.
Let (G)goods and (Asus4)kin(A)dred (D)go,
This (G)mortal (C)life (B)al(Em)so;
The (Em)body (A)they may (D)kill,
God's (C)Truth abideth (B)still.
(G)His (Bm)Kingdom (G)is for(Am)e-(D)e-(G)ver!
