===Words===
: A mighty stronghold is our God
: A sure defence and weapon
: He'll help us out of every need
: Whatever now may happen
: The ancient evil fiend
: Has deadly ill in mind
: Great power and craft are his
: His armour gruesome is
: On earth is not his equal
 
: With our own strength is nothing done
: Soon we are lost, dejected
: But for us fights the rightful Man
: Whom God himself elected
: You ask, "Who may this be?"
: Christ Jesus is he
: The Lord Sabaoth's Son
: Our God, and he alone
: Shall hold the field victorious
 
: And though the world were full of fiends
: All lurking to devour us
: We tremble not nor fear their bands
: They shall not overpower us
: The prince of this world's ill
: May scowl upon us still
: He cannot do us harm
: To judgement he has come
: One word can swiftly fell him
 
: The Word they must allow to stand
: For this they win no merit
: Upon the field, so near at hand
: He gives to us his Spirit
: And though they take our life
: Goods, honour, child and wife
: Though we must let all go
: They will not profit so
: To us remains the Kingdom
