110 A Mighty Fortress Is Our God

A Mighty Fortress Is Our God

Note: these chords are in the key of D, one step above what is in the hymnal.

D        A        D                           Em
A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing;
           A   D                               Em
our helper he amid the flood of mortal ills prevailing.

For still our ancient foe doth seek to work us woe;
              E         D      E   C     D
his craft and power are great, and armed  with
                                    Em  D
    cruel hate, on earth is not his e - qual.
