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,

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

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.
