You ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is he, The Lord of Hosts his name, From age to age the same, And he must win the battle. 3 And though this world, with devils filled, Should threaten to undo us, We will not fear, for God has 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. 4 That word above all earthly powers, No thanks to them, is standing; The Spirit and the gifts are ours— We answer his commanding. Let goods and kindred go, This mortal life also; The body they may kill: God's truth is ruling still— His kingdom is forever! Amen. Scripture: Psalm 46 Tune Title: EIN' FESTE BURG
