A Mighty Fortress Is Our God

Hello, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog, where I write the lyrics to hymns, facts about instruments and animals, recipes and some other things.

The Subject At Hand

Today, we looking at the lyrics to the hymn, A Mighty Fortress Is Our God, by Martin Luther in 1529 and translated by Frederick H. Hedge in1852.

It is a beautiful song, and I love it; if you don't know how the tune goes, go to YouTube and look up Folksandhymns or Kaleb Brasee.

I'll leave a link to their videos and their channels down below.

Now, on with the show!

The Lyrics
Verse 1

A mighty 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.

Verse 2

Did we in our own strength confide, our striving would be loosing;

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 won the battle.

Verse 3

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.

Verse 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!

A magical field


Afterwards

Isn't it beautiful?

I just love it; I think that Martin Luther did a great job.

Remember: we do not tremble for the Prince of Darkness; we have Christ on our side, and we can cast out devils in His name.

Introduction  Hello, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog, where I write the lyrics to hymns, and the occasional recipe. Today, the hymn we are looking at is called This Is My Father's World; it was written in 1901 by a Mr. Maltbie Davenport Babcock. It was originally a poem with sixteen verses, but when it was set to music, only three verses were chosen. A tree and a bush Someday I might do the whole poem, but today, I'm just going to do the three that I know. Let me know if you want me to do the whole poem. Go to YouTube and look up Folksandhymns to find the tune. Now, on with the show! The Lyrics  Verse 1 This is my Father's world; And to my listening ears, All nature sings  And 'round me rings  The music of the spheres. This is my Father's world;  I rest me in the thought Of rocks and trees, Of skies and seas. His hand the wonders wrought. Verse 2 This is my Father's world; The birds, their carols raise. The morning light,  The lily...
