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.
