    Text: Martin Luther
    A mighty fortress is our God,
    A bulwark never failing;
    Our helper He amid the flood
    Of mortal ills prevailing.
    For still our ancient foe
    Doth seek to work us woe −
    His craft and pow’r are great,
    And, armed with cruel hate,
    On earth is not his equal.
    Did we in our own strength confide,
    Our striving would be losing,
    Were not the right Man on our side,
    The man of God’s own choosing.
    Dost ask who that may be?
    Christ Jesus, it is He −
    Lord Sabaoth His Name,
    From age to age the same,
    And He must win the battle.
    And though this world, with devils filled,
    Should threaten to undo us,
    We will not fear, for God hath willed
    His truth to triumph thru 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 pow’rs,
    No thanks to them, abideth;
    The Spirit and the gifts are ours
    Thru 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.

    “God is our refuge and strength, a helper who is always found in times of trouble. Therefore we will not be afraid, though the earth trembles and the mountains topple into the depths of the seas, though its water roars and foams and the mountains quake with its turmoil. Selah
    “Stop fighting, and know that I am God, exalted among the nations, exalted on the earth.””
    ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭46:1-3, 10‬ ‭CSB‬‬

      Remember that this was the very hymn, a revolutionary hymn, that freed man’s consciousness of the blight of greed, of the sale of indulgences and of the corruption of the Catholic Church. This is the hymn of the virtuous people of the North. May it empower you, and may we all be strengthened by Pastor Luther, Pastor Bonhoeffer and Sophie Scholl. Es Lebe Hieleges Deutschland 🇩🇪

    God bless you so much Martijn de Groot. I have been asking Clayton Herb and the Grace Books of our singing for so long. Two years now. I had no idea it was on TH-cam and with Lyrics. WOW! Even more of a blessing. As a new Christian, I love these songs of praise and worship. What an amazing job you did with this channel. I appreciate your service. Please, keep doing it, brother. Praise God for this amazing blessing and an answer to my prayers and opportunity sheet. What a blessing you are to us.

      Pray for deliverance from unjust laws, which separate us from God by blocking our safe attendance at church, while supermarkets and beer gardens are busy with shoppers and patrons. Pray and continue spiritual warfare using God’s Word to dispel the darkness.

    I have a unique perspective about worship music issues. No one will listen. I have classical training, love traditional church music, but also have jazz training and can play (piano) by ear. I can lead a choir. Two music degrees from Westminster Choir College. But my Church Music career was a heartbreak. Just one thing to say. I couldn't get the churches I worked for to take the carpet out of their sanctuary, ever. I love Psalm Singing. I wrote a bunch of Psalm settings that never get used. I have to listen to recordings in big churches that do traditional music, because nobody knows how to do congregational singing in the 'contemporary' music style. i'm sorry, but I just like the sound and the experience of singing along in a 'live' or 'wet' or 'ambient' room (a traditional chapel or church).
