A Mighty Fortress is Our God - Theme and Variations - Organ Solo Cover & Lyric Video

An original arrangement of A Mighty Fortress Is Our God (Ein Feste Burg), originally attributed to Frederick Henry Hedge and Martin Luther and now in the public domain.

Performed and recorded on my Roland RD-700NX.

Video includes lyrics for reference but the arrangement might prove a bit challenging for karaoke or singalong! Verse 1 is likely how it might have sounded when during the time it was written and we ...deviate from there for verses 2, 3, and 4. Hope you enjoy!

VERSE 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 pow'r 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 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

VERSE 3
And tho' this world with devils filled
Should threaten to undo us
We will not fear for God hath willed
His truth to triumph thru 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 pow'rs
No thanks to them abideth
The Spirit and the gifts are ours
Thru 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
