With might of ours can naught be done, soon were our loss effected;

But for us fights the Valiant One, Whom God Himself elected.

Ask ye, Who is this?  Jesus Christ it is, of Sabaoth Lord,

And there’s none other God; He holds the field forever.

Though devils all the world should fill, all eager to devour us,

We tremble not, we fear no ill; they shall not overpower us.

This world’s prince may still scowl fierce as he will, he can harm us none.

He’s judged; the deed is done; one little word can fell him.

(“A Mighty Fortress” vv 2-3,

Martin Luther, 1483-1546)
