− | | |
− | 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
