CGAmG
A mighty fortress is our God,
AmEmCDmC
a bulwark never failing;
CGAmG
Our helper He, amid the flood,
AmEmCDmC
of mortal ills prevailing:
AmD7G
For still our ancient foe,
GFAm
doth seek to work us woe;
AmD7G
His craft and power are great,
FDmE
and, armed with cruel hate,
AmEmCDmC
On earth is not his equal.
[Verse 2]
CGAmG
Did we in our own strength confide,
AmEmCDmC
our striving would be losing;
CGAmG
Were not the right Man on our side,
AmEmCDmC
the Man of God's own choosing:
AmD7G
Dost ask who that may be?
GFAm
Christ Jesus, it is He;
AmD7G
Lord Sab-a-oth, His Name,
FDmE
from age to age the same,
AmEmCDmC
And He must win the bat-tle.
[Chorus]
G
A Mighty fortress,
C
A mighty Fortress is our God
G
A Mighty fortress,
C
A mighty Fortress is our God
[Verse 3]
CGAmG
And though this world, with devils filled,
AmEmCDmC
should threaten to un do us,
CGAmG
We will not fear, for God hath willed,
AmEmCDmC
His truth to triumph through us:
AmD7G
The prince of darkness grim,
GFAm
we tremble not for him
AmD7G
His rage we can endure,
FDmE
for lo, his doom is sure,
AmEmCDmC
One little word will fell him.
[Verse 4]
CGAmG
That word above all earthly powers,
AmEmCDmC
no thanks to them, abid-eth;
CGAmG
The Spirit and the gifts are ours,
AmEmCDmC
through Him Who with us side-eth:
AmD7G
Let goods and kindred go,
GFAm
this mortal life al-so;
AmDG
The body they may kill:
FDmE
God's truth abideth still,
AmEmCDmC
His kingdom is for ev - er.
[Chorus]
G
A Mighty fortress,
C
A mighty Fortress is our God
G
A Mighty fortress,
C
A mighty Fortress is our God
