For still our ancient Foe,
Doth seek to work us woe!
His power and craft 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 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.
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,
Our mortal life also!
The body they may kill;
God's truth abideth still --
His Kingdom is forever!
A Mighty Fortress Is Our God is the truth!
Hallelujah!!!!!!! and Praise the Lord!!!!! for His mercy endures forever!!!
He giveth more grace when the burdens grow greater,
He sendeth more strength when the labors increase;
To added affliction He addeth His mercy,
To multiplied trials, His multiplied peace.
His love has no limits, His grace had no measure,
His power has no boundary known unto men:
For out of His infinite riches in Jesus,
He giveth, and giveth, and giveth again!
When we have exhausted our store of endurance,
When our strength has failed ere the day is half done,
When we reach the end of our hoarded resources,
Our Father's full giving is only begun.
His love has no limit, His grace has no measure,
His power has no boundary known unto men:
For out of His infinite riches in Jesus,
He giveth, and giveth, and giveth again!
