Here are the full lyrics of the song:
Verse 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.
Chorus
And take away all our goods,
Let him take our children’s lives,
Destroy our homes, and drive our wives,
And strip us of our health;
Yet cannot he prevail
Against our souls, set free
By Christ the Lord, who faith imputes,
And death’s fierce sting refutes.
Though this world, with devils filled,
Should threaten to undo us,
We will not fear, for God hath willed
His truth to triumph through us.
Verse 2
Did we in our own strength confide,
Our striving would be losing;
Were not the right Man on our side,
The Man of God’s own choosing.
Dost ask who that may be?
Christ Jesus, it is He;
Lord Sabaoth, His Name,
From age to age the same,
And He must win the battle.
Chorus
And take away all our goods,
Let him take our children’s lives,
Destroy our homes, and drive our wives,
And strip us of our health;
Yet cannot he prevail
Against our souls, set free
By Christ the Lord, who faith imputes,
And death’s fierce sting refutes.
Though this world, with devils filled,
Should threaten to undo us,
We will not fear, for God hath willed
His truth to triumph through us.
Verse 3
And though this world, with devils filled,
Should threaten to undo us,
We will not fear, for God hath willed
His truth to triumph through us.
The Prince of Darkness grim,
We tremble not for him;
His rage we can endure,
For lo! his doom is sure;
One little word shall fell him.
Chorus
And take away all our goods,
Let him take our children’s lives,
Destroy our homes, and drive our wives,
And strip us of our health;
Yet cannot he prevail
Against our souls, set free
By Christ the Lord, who faith imputes,
And death’s fierce sting refutes.
Though this world, with devils filled,
Should threaten to undo us,
We will not fear, for God hath willed
His truth to triumph through us.
