(Capo 3)
Verse 1: D F#m Bm A A mighty fortress is our God, F#m G Em D a bulwark never failing D F#m Bm A our helper he, amid the flood F#m G Em D of mortal ills prevailing. D E7 A For still our ancient foe A G Bm does seek to work us woe; Bm E7 A his craft and power are great, G Em F#m and armed with cruel hate, F#m G Em D on earth is not his equal.
Verse 2:
D F#m Bm A Did we in our own strength confide,
F#m G Em D
our striving would be losing,
D F#m Bm A were not the right Man on our side,
F#m G Em D
the Man of God's own choosing.
D E7 A
You ask who that may be?
A G Bm
Christ Jesus, it is he;
Bm E7 A
Lord Sabaoth his name,
G Em F#m
from age to age the same;
F#m G Em D
and he must win the battle.
Verse 3:
D F#m Bm A
And though this world, with devils filled,
F#m G Em D
should threaten to undo us,
D F#m Bm A
we will not fear, for God has willed
F#m G Em D
his truth to triumph through us.
D E7 A
The prince of darkness grim,
A G Bm
we tremble not for him;
Bm E7 A
his rage we can endure,
G Em F#m
for lo! his doom is sure;
F#m G Em D
one little word shall fell him.
