	GOD'S MAJESTY

	102



	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. 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. 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 for ever. Martin Luther, 1529- Tr. by F. H. Hedge, 1851
