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.
