A mighty fortress is our God,
a bulwark never failing;
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.
Though 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 every 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.
