- 1. 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 power are great,
And armed with cruel hate,
On earth is not his equal.
2. 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.
3. And though this world, with devils filled,
Should threaten to undo us,
We will not fear, for God has 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.
4. 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.
Words and Music: Martin Luther

Hymns of Grace exists to assist believers in their corporate and private worship of God. It is our mission to provide resources that focus on God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit as revealed in the Word of God. To that end we seek to produce musical material that focuses on God, His Word and the Gospel story, melding beautiful melodies with eternal truth.
This is one of the most fantastically written hymns of all time! Martin Luther wrote this great hymn by elevating God and showing man’s depravity and total need for a Savior. Forget all those contemporary “Christian” songs that places “me” at the forefront and acts like Jesus is our boyfriend.
Agreed.
"God's truth abideth still. His Kingdom is forever." What a grand conclusion and assurance!
It comes wonderful as a regular "must see through" so that "mortifying the holy" comes half of Heaven drinks us all closermost.
A Mighty Fortress was the theme song of the series "Davey and Goliath," presented by the Lutheran church to young baby boomers in the early 1960s. It was shown on Sunday mornings in the Oklahoma City market; I watched it before my parents took me to Sunday school and church.
These hymns are so powerful compared to the light-weight contemporary songs that being sung nowadays., as praise and worship songs.
I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress, my God. In Him I will trust. Psalm 91:2
My all-time favorite hymn! This is the Lutheran's battle cry in the face of Satan!!! 💪👏👍🙏✝️
Amen😇
I came in here having read Martin Luther's story.
God bless the great reformers and Robert LIARDON for capturing their stories.
May men rise in our days again who will stand for nothing but the truth of God's word in Love and unbending conviction... AMEN 🙏
Absolutely beautiful. Glory to The Lord Most High!🎚️♥️
My FAVORITE HYMN
Mine as well.
One of my favorite songs is have thine own way lord have thine own way thou art the potter I am the clay make me and mold me after thy will have thine own way. I‘be been singing this for almost fourty years if not more but I didn’t know the whole song until I looked it up on my cell phone. If you can get a hymnal like they use to have in most churches years ago. My terrible brother bought me a hymnal at a garage sale. I told him it worth more than gold or silver to me. I got a lot of gifts from my. Son and brother through the years I heard on my cell phone that they gave the gifts that was a cursed thing and I should try to burn them maybe that was true for many Christians but with me I believe that GOD has blessed me in spite of my family (biological)tried to mess me up I had a serious heart condition and nobody came to see me while I in the hospital my brother is only 200 miles away. I have a son in Hollywood Florida and another in Tampa Florida also relative’s in Jacksonville Florida and Georgia and tennesee .all southern states. Two kissing cousin’s didn’t come to visit only one friend (supposedly my exwife and my exbrother in law and sister in law . That’s all I’m saying for now I suppose to call my brother tonight so I’m heading home on earth fr now will write later so long blood bought family With LOVE AlWAY’Stour brother in CHRIST Greg ❤❤❤❤❤l❤❤
I love the signing choir in the front row. What an incredible way for all of God's people to join in worship.
Praise the Lord!
Thank You Lord Jesus for Your grace and mercy upon us.🎉
I wish to thank you for sharing this awesome Christian Hymn video with me .

Absolutely Magnificent 😊
Yes just the best hymn ever
I love this song so much! I actually kind of miss church... I can't believe it but I miss church because I miss this.
HALLELUJAH 💞
Please do the hymn In The Garden! PLEASE!! 🙂
I asked someone to sing this as I finished top among my friends in thermo, and that person came last.
Thanks! Feels like I am not alone in this world! And strangers can not harm, nor even get close to harm again, and repeatly!
The old Patrick Henry saing: "Give me libery or give me death". ( don't therorise me no more in any way!)
Singt diese Hymne für unsere Brüder und Schwestern in Jesu, die in Bedrängnis sind auf dieser Welt!
Sing this hymn for our brothers and sisters in Jesus, who are in trouble in this world!
That’s the TH-cam doing the commercials. You have to get the TH-cam premium and pay extra to eliminate the commercials. God bless!
Marvellous!
Thank you for listening. Lyrics made it my best ever.
I never heard this version.the one I know is this:a mighty fortress is our god a sword and shield victorious.he breaks the cruel oppressors rod and brings salvation glorious...Dave Howard
Martin Luther wrote the words and the music.
@@madalenesimons1319
What Martin Luther actually wrote was:
1 Ein' feste Burg ist unser Gott,
ein' gute Wehr und waffen;
er hilft uns frei aus aller Not,
die uns jetzt hat betroffen.
Der alt' böse Feind,
mit Ernst er's jetzt meint,
groß Macht und viel List
sein' grausam' Rüstung ist,
auf Erd' ist nicht seinsgleichen.
2 Mit unsrer Macht ist nichts getan,
wir sind gar bald verloren;
es streit't für uns der rechte Mann,
den Gott hat selbst erkoren.
Fragst du, wer der ist?
Er heißt Jesus Christ,
der Herr Zebaoth,
und ist kein andrer Gott,
das Feld muß er behalten!
3 Und wenn die Welt voll Teufel wär'
und wollt' uns gar verschlingen,
so fürchten wir uns nicht so sehr,
es soll uns doch gelingen.
Der Fürst dieser Welt,
wie sau'r er sich stellt,
tut er uns doch nicht;
das macht, er ist gericht't;
ein Wörtlein kann ihn fällen.
4 Das Wort sie sollen lassen stahn,
und kein'n Dank dazu haben:
er ist bei uns wohl auf dem Plan
mit seinem Geist und Gaben.
Nehmen sie uns den Leib,
Gut, Ehr', Kind und Weib:
laß fahren dahin;
sie haben's kein'n Gewinn,
das Reich muß uns doch bleiben.
It's been translated into English many dozens of times. The version sung here was translated by Frederick H. Hedge in 1853, and is more popular with non-Lutheran Protestants. A more traditional Lutheran translation begins "A mighty fortress is our God, a trusty shield and weapon" and is from 1868 Pennsylvania Lutheran Church Book. The version Dave Howard references was written for the 1978 Lutheran Book of Worship (the "green hymnal" from ELCA Lutheran churches).
@@madalenesimons1319 in German, translations differ as to keeping with the melody and meaning.
Best rendition i think.
If we trust in God, why do we have armies?
Why are these churches using the wimpy version of the hymn?
I beg your pardon… but it’s Hymn #8! Now I have a casserole to chow down on. 😂 HAPPY 2024 EVERYONE!
Is this grace community church?
Yess 🫶
Why is the choir leaving before the end?
@@RichardLeo-mf3zb because it is a recessional hymn.
This is easily my favorite hymn of all time
Church, is it possible to remove the worldly commercials and ads or is that just the TH-cam thing thank you so much
There was a time when only qualified people wrote hymns. Now every nut head with a guitar writes one.
