A Mighty Fortress Is Our God  chords

Martin Luther 1529  "Ein' Feste Burg"

 

C        G  Em    Am D7  G    Am Em F    C Am  Dm G7 C

A mighty fortress is our God, a  bulwark never failing;

C          G   Em Am D7  G      Am Em F   C    Am Dm G7 C

Our helper He, amid  the flood, of mortal ills prevailing:

C         Am  G D7    G    C    G    C  F    G7 Am

For still our ancient foe, doth seek to work us woe;

E   Am    E   Am    D7  G      F          C7   A  Dm E

His craft and power are great, and, armed with cruel hate,

Am Em    F  C   Am  Dm G7 C

On earth is not his equ  al.

 

C         G   Em  Am       D7 G     Am  Em   F   C     Am Dm G7 C

Did we in our own strength confide, our striving would be losing;

C            G     Em  Am D7  G     Am  Em  F  C     Am  Dm G7 C

Were not the right Man on our side, the Man of God's own choosing:

C        Am  G    D7  G   C      G  C   F  G7 Am

Dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is He;

E    Am E Am  D7  G     F        C7 A   Dm  E

Lord Sabaoth, His Name, from age to age the same,

Am  Em F    C   Am  Dm G7 C

And He must win the bat tle.

 

C               G      Em   Am D7  G       Am     Em   F   C  Am Dm G7 C

And though this world, with devils filled, should threaten to un do    us,

C           G     Em  Am  D7   G       Am  Em    F  C  Am   Dm G7   C

We will not fear, for God hath willed, His truth to triumph through us:

C          Am G   D7   G     C  G   C   F   G7 Am

The prince of darkness grim, we tremble not of him

E   Am   E  Am  D7 G    F       C7  A    Dm E

His rage we can endure, for lo, his doom is sure,

Am  Em F   C    Am    Dm G7 C

One little word shall fell  him.

C          G    Em  Am   D7 G       Am Em     F  C     Am Dm G7 C

That word above all earthly powers, no thanks to them, abide   th;

C          G   Em  Am    D7  G     Am      Em  F   C    Am Dm G7 C

The Spirit and the gifts are ours, through Him Who with us side  th:

C         Am  G   D7  G   C    G  C   F    G7 Am

Let goods and kindred go, this mortal life al so;

E   Am E Am   D7  G     F           C7 A Dm E

The body they may kill: God's truth abideth still,

Am  Em  F   C  Am Dm G7 C

His kingdom is for ev   er.
