Grundtvig. <ol><li>A mighty fortress is our God, A trusty shield and weapon;<br>He helps us free from ev'ry need That hath us now o'ertaken.<br>The old evil foe Now means deadly woe;<br>Deep guile and great might Are his dread arms in fight;<br>On earth is not his equal. <li>With might of ours can naught be done, Soon were our loss effected;<br>But for us fights the valiant One, Whom God Himself elected.<br>Ask ye, Who is this? Jesus Christ it is,<br>Of Sabaoth Lord, And there's none other God;<br>He holds the field forever. <li>Though devils all the world should fill, All eager to devour us,<br>We tremble not, we fear no ill; They shall not overpow'r us.<br>This world's prince may still Scowl fierce as he will,<br>He can harm us none. He's judged; the deed is done;<br>One little word can fell him. <li>The Word they still shall let remain Nor any thanks have for it;<br>He's by our side upon the plain With His good gifts and Spirit.<br>And take they our life, Goods, fame, child, and wife,<br>Though these all be gone, Our vict'ry has been won;<br>The Kingdom ours remaineth.</ol>
