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. |

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. |

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. |

That word above all earthly powers, No thanks to them, abideth; The Spirit and the gifts are ours Through Him who with us sideth: Let goods and kindred go, This mortal life also; The body they may kill: God’s truth abideth still, His Kingdom is forever. |

These powerful hymns continue to be such a blessing over the years. Sometimes we sing them without paying much attention to the words (especially when they are popular). Today I was tremendously blessed when I reflected on the fact that God is our Bulwark (our Fortification; our Strong Tower) that never fails.

This is song was written in the 1500s by German reformer Martin Luther. Lyrics were later translated into English.

Very nice song. One of the best I have heard since Dr. King's death.

This song written by Martin Luther is so incredible. It shows the faith he had, was given, and needed to endure facing the hounds of hell in the papacy of Rome and his hellish popes. The spirit that controlled those apostates of old, is the same one that pull the strings today, but they have whitewashed their image and re written history to the average observer to have them smell like a red rose. This song will echo again from the lips of men and women, as rome again gets her chance to run church and state over all the world, and in the face of even death, this same faith will be revisited and built upon even more in many many lives. God bless the children of the Book, who follow His precepts, and not the doctrines and customs or rituals of men. I choose to follow God, from His Word, and not man made ideas. God bless all, Lord of the Sabbath... The 7th DAY

This song is so full of truth and encouragement! I was just reading Psalm 46 and the commentary in my Bible said this psalm prompted Luther to right this. I've been living out of Psalm 46 and this scripture and Luther's song describe things perfectly. Thank You Lord Jesus.

If memory serves, Luther sang this hymn as he marched to the cathederal at Weems. The bishops liked to invite Protestants for talks and then burn them at the stake. By then, Luther had enough military support to prevent that.

Let us all be in prayer daily for the strength and courage that was Martin Luther's. What a great servant of God. Hallelujah, Sing to Jesus!

Thank you for making this song available. It was on my lips when I woke this morning and I wanted to remember it correctly. I love the mighty message that our LORD is for us and He has already won the battle. May God richly bless you in your ministry.
