{{links}}==Main article== "A Mighty Stronghold is Our God" is a famous [[hymn]] by [[Martin Luther]]. It has been translated from German into more than 70 languages. ===Words=== : A mighty stronghold is our God: A sure defence and weapon: He'll help us out of every need: Whatever now may happen: The ancient evil fiend: Has deadly ill in mind: Great power and craft are his: His armour gruesome is: On earth is not his equal : With our own strength is nothing done: Soon we are lost, dejected: But for us fights the rightful Man: Whom God himself elected: You ask, "Who may this be?": Christ Jesus is he: The Lord Sabaoth's Son: Our God, and he alone: Shall hold the field victorious : And though the world were full of fiends: All lurking to devour us: We tremble not nor fear their bands: They shall not overpower us: The prince of this world's ill: May scowl upon us still: He cannot do us harm: To judgement he has come: One word can swiftly fell him : The Word they must allow to stand: For this they win no merit: Upon the field, so near at hand: He gives to us his Spirit: And though they take our life: Goods, honour, child and wife: Though we must let all go: They will not profit so: To us remains the Kingdom ==Links==
