| Song: | A Mighty Fortress
Verse 1 6 6 6 5 -5 6 -66 -5 5 A mighty Fortress is our God, -6 6 -5 5 -5 -44-34 A Bulwark never failing; 6 6 6 5-5 6-66 -5 5 Our Helper He amid the flood -6 6 -5 5 -5-44-34 Of mortal ills prevailing: 4 5 -5 5 -4 5 For still our ancient foe 5 6 6 -6 -7 7 Doth seek to work us woe; -7 7 -7 -6 -6 -6 6 His craft and power are great, -6 -6 6 -66-5 5 And, armed with cruel hate, 7 -7 -6 6 -6 -55-44 On earth is not his equal. Verse 2 6 6 6 5-5 6 -6 6 -5 5 Did we in our own strength confide, -6 6 -5 5 -5 -44-34 Our striving would be losing; 6 6 6 5-5 6 -66 -5 5 Were not the right Man on our side, -6 6 -5 5 -5 -44-34 The Man of God's own choosing: 4 5 -5 5 -4 5 Dost ask who that may be? 5 6 6 -6 -7 7 Christ Jesus, it is He; -7 7-7-6 -6 6 Lord Sabaoth His Name, -6 -6 6 -66 -5 5 From age to age the same, 7 -7 -6 6 -6 -55-44 And He must win the battle. Verse 3 6 6 6 5 -5 6 -66-5 5 And though this world, with devils filled, -6 6 -5 5 -5-44-3 4 Should threaten to un-do us, 6 6 6 5 -5 6 -66 -5 5 We will not fear, for God hath willed -6 6 -5 5 -5 -44-3 4 His truth to triumph through us: 4 5 -5 5 -4 5 The Prince of Darkness grim, 5 6 6 -6 -7 7 We tremble not for him; -7 7 -7 -6 -6 6 His rage we can endure, -6 -6 6 -66 -5 5 For lo! his doom is sure, 7 -7 -6 6 -6 -55-4 4 One little word shall fell him. Verse 4 6 6 65-5 6 -6 6 -5 5 That word above all earthly powers, -6 6 -5 5 -5-44-34 No thanks to them, abideth; 6 6 6 5-5 6 -6 6 -5 5 The Spirit and the gifts are ours -6 6 -5 5 -5 -44-34 Through Him who with us sideth: 4 5 -5 5 -4 5 Let goods and kindred go, 5 6 6 -6 -7 7 This mortal life also; -7 7 -7 -6 -6 6 The body they may kill: -6 -6 6-66-5 5 God's truth abideth still, 7 -7 -6 6 -6-55-44 His Kingdom is forever. |
