Lyrics:
1. A mighty fortress is our God, our stronghold and protection. He is our hope, our friend, our guide, the giver of salvation. Our Lord is God alone. He made the world his own. He speaks and winds obey. He rules 'til endless day. His truth abides forever.
2. Great and eternal is our God, the God of all creation. He made the sun to shine through cloud. He formed earth's deep foundation. Rejoice and praise his name. His goodness will remain. With strong and guiding hand, firm shall his justice stand. His promise is eternal.
To hear the music (without words), go to A mighty fortress is our God.
