Verse 1

G A mighty D fortress C is our G God, a Em Bulwark G never C faD iG ling;
G Our Helper D He aC mid the G flood of Em mortal G ills preC vaD iG ling;
For Em still our Asus anA cient D Foe doth G seek to C work us Em woe;
His Em craft and Asus pow'r A are D great, and Em armed with Am cruel B hate,
On Em earth is G not his C eD G qual.

Verse 2

G Did we in D our own C strength conG fide, our Em striving G would be C loD G sing;
G Were not the D right Man C on our G side, the Em Man of G God's own C choD oG sing;
DostEm ask who Asus that A may D be: Christ G Jesus C it is Em He;
Lord Em SabbaAsus oth A His D name, from Em age to Am age the B same,
And Em He must G win the C batD G tle.

Verse 3

G And though this D world with C devils G filled should Em threaten G to unC do D G us;
G We will not D fear for C God hath G willed His Em truth to G triumph C thrD ough G us:
The Em prince of Asus darkA ness D grim, we G tremble C not for Em him;
His Em rage we Asus can A enD dure for Em lo, his Am doom is B sure,
One Em little G word shall C felD l G him.

Verse 4

G That Word aD bove all C earthly G pow'r, no Em thanks to G them aC bidD G eth;
G The Spirit D and the C gifts are G ours through Em Him who G with us C siD G deth;
Let Em goods and Asus kinA dred D go, this G mortal C life alEm so;
The Em body Asus they A may D kill; God's Em truth aAm bideth B still,
His Em kingdom G is forC eD G ver!
