C C/F C
A mighty fortress is our God, A bulwark never failing;

Our helper He, amid the flood Of mortal ills prevailing;
Am (Dsus2 G) C F Am
For still our ancient foe doth seek to work us woe;
Am G Am Dm Em
His craft and power are great, and armed with cruel hate,
Am C F G C
On earth is not his equal.

And though this world, with devils filled, Should threaten to undo us,
C (F G C) G C
We will not fear, for God hath willed His truth to triumph through us:
Am D G C F Am
The Prince of Darkness grim, we tremble not for him;
Am D G Am Dm Em
His rage we can endure, for lo, his doom is sure,
Am C F G C
One little word shall fell him.

That word above all earthly powers, No thanks to them abideth;

The Spirit and the gifts are ours, Through him who with us sideth.

The body they may kill: God's truth abideth still,
Am C F G C
His kingdom is forever.
