“A Mighty Fortress Is Our God” (stanzas 3,4)
And though this world, with devils filled, should threaten to undo us,
We will not fear, for God hath willed His truth to triumph through us:
The Prince of Darkness grim, we tremble not for him;
His rage we can endure, for lo, his doom is sure,
One little word shall fell him.
That word above all earthly powers, no thanks to them, abideth;
The Spirit and the gifts are ours through Him Who with us sideth:
Let goods and kindred go, this mortal life also;
The body they may kill: God’s truth abideth still,
His kingdom is forever.
Written by Martin Luther born 11/10/1483, Eisleben, Germany. Luther saw in the Holy Scriptures that the Just Shall Live By Faith (Hab 2.4, Rom 1.17, Gal 3.11, & Heb 10.38). This revolutionized his life, increased the Reformation (already started at least by John Hus’ time), and caused rejoicing among souls freed from the system of works, works, works.
