A mighty fortress is our God,
A bulwark never tailing
Protecting us with staff and rod;
His power all prevailing.
What if the nations rage,
And surging seas rampage,
What though the mountains fall,
The Lord is God of all,
On earth is not his equal.

The waters of his goodness flow
throughout his holy city
And gladden hearts of those who know
His tenderness and pity.
through nations stand unsure,
God’s kingdom shall endure;
his power shall remain;
His peace shall ever reign;
Our God, the God of Jacob.

Behold his wondrous deeds of peace,
The God of our salvation;
He knows our wars and makes them cease
In ev’ry land and nation.
The warriors’ spears and lance
are splintered by his glance,
the guns and nuclear fight
stand withered in his sight
the Lord of hosts is with us.
