Lord Jesus, Thou the Church's Head
A Mighty Fortress is Our God
Author: Martin Luther Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.5.6.6.7 Appears in 27 hymnals Lyrics: 1 A mighty Fortress is our God,
A trusty Shield and Weapon;
He helps us in our ev'ry need
That hath us now o'ertaken.
The old malignant foe
Means us deadly woe:
Deep guile and cruel 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.
Ask ye who this may be?
Jesus Christ, 'tis He,
As Lord of Hosts adored,
Our only King and Lord,
He holds the field forever.
3 Tho' devils all the world should fill,
All watching to devour us,
We tremble not, we fear no ill,
They shall not overpow'r us.
For this world's prince may still
Scowl fiercely as he will,
We need not be alarmed,
For he is now disarmed:
One little word o'erthrows 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.
Take they, then, what they will,
Life, goods, all; and still,
E'en when their worst is done,
They yet have nothing won;--
The kingdom ours remaineth.

And shall be ours forever;
To spread its light from age to age
Shall be our chief endeavor.
Through life it guides our way,
In death it is our stay.
Lord, grant, while worlds endure,
We keep its teachings pure
Throughout all generations. Topics: The Word of God; Reformation Scripture: Psalm 119:105 Used With Tune: REUTER
