Castelo Forte
Martinho Lutero
Strong Castle
A mighty fortress is our God
A trusty shield and weapon
He helps us free from every need
That hath us now overtaken
The old evil foe
Now means deadly woe
Deep guile and great might
Are his dread arms in fight
On Earth is not his equal
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
The Word they still shall let remain
Nor any thanks have for it
He's by our side upon the plain
With His good gifts and Spirit
And take they our life
Goods, fame, child, and wife
Let these all be gone
They yet have nothing won
The Kingdom ours remaineth
