Verse_Lyric: 1 1. A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing; our helper He, amid the flood of mortal ills prevailing. For still our ancient foe doth seek to work us woe; his craft and power are great, and, armed with cruel hate, on earth is not his equal. Verse_Lyric: 2 2. Did we in our own strength confide, our striving would be losing; but lo, a Man is on our side; He came of His own choosing. Dost 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. Verse_Lyric: 3 3.
