A Mighty Fortress is Our God (Hymn 53) | Grace Community Church Congregation & Orchestra

[@DLR1743]

This is one of the most fantastically written hymns of all time! Martin Luther wrote this great hymn by elevating God and showing man’s depravity and total need for a Savior. Forget all those contemporary “Christian” songs that places “me” at the forefront and acts like Jesus is our boyfriend.

[@karlforster4907]

Agreed.

[@harrisonsamson]

Amen.

[@elainevandort7258]

These hymns are so powerful compared to the light-weight contemporary songs that being sung nowadays., as praise and worship songs.

"God's truth abideth still. His Kingdom is forever." What a grand conclusion and assurance!

[@JosephCrump-g6g]

It comes wonderful as a regular "must see through" so that "mortifying the holy" comes half of Heaven drinks us all closermost.

[@colindenoon9605]

A beautiful hymn of assurance.

Sou Adventista do sétimo dia, quando ouço esse hino meu coração sente a segurança do nosso Deus e Senhor, nossa fortaleza nosso Redentor! A história de lutero também esta em A grande Controvérsia de Ellen G. White.

I came in here having read Martin Luther's story. God bless the great reformers and Robert LIARDON for capturing their stories. May men rise in our days again who will stand for nothing but the truth of God's word in Love and unbending conviction... AMEN 🙏

One of my favorite songs is have thine own way lord have thine own way thou art the potter I am the clay make me and mold me after thy will have thine own way. I‘be been singing this for almost fourty years if not more but I didn’t know the whole song until I looked it up on my cell phone. If you can get a hymnal like they use to have in most churches years ago. My terrible brother bought me a hymnal at a garage sale. I told him it worth more than gold or silver to me. I got a lot of gifts from my. Son and brother through the years I heard on my cell phone that they gave the gifts that was a cursed thing and I should try to burn them maybe that was true for many Christians but with me I believe that GOD has blessed me in spite of my family (biological)tried to mess me up I had a serious heart condition and nobody came to see me while I in the hospital my brother is only 200 miles away. I have a son in Hollywood Florida and another in Tampa Florida also relative’s in Jacksonville Florida and Georgia and tennesee .all southern states. Two kissing cousin’s didn’t come to visit only one friend (supposedly my exwife and my exbrother in law and sister in law . That’s all I’m saying for now I suppose to call my brother tonight so I’m heading home on earth fr now will write later so long blood bought family With LOVE AlWAY’Stour brother in CHRIST Greg ❤❤❤❤❤l❤❤

A Mighty Fortress was the theme song of the series "Davey and Goliath," presented by the Lutheran church to young baby boomers in the early 1960s. It was shown on Sunday mornings in the Oklahoma City market; I watched it before my parents took me to Sunday school and church.

[@joannadearest8318]

@@EdKelley-b4t I only recently learned that this magnificent song, which I knew only as the theme song from Davey and Goliath, was A Mighty Fortress Is Our God

I never heard this version.the one I know is this:a mighty fortress is our god a sword and shield victorious.he breaks the cruel oppressors rod and brings salvation glorious...Dave Howard

[@madalenesimons1319]

Martin Luther wrote the words and the music.

[@George-f5t]

@@madalenesimons1319 What Martin Luther actually wrote was: 1 Ein' feste Burg ist unser Gott, ein' gute Wehr und waffen; er hilft uns frei aus aller Not, die uns jetzt hat betroffen. Der alt' böse Feind, mit Ernst er's jetzt meint, groß Macht und viel List sein' grausam' Rüstung ist, auf Erd' ist nicht seinsgleichen. 2 Mit unsrer Macht ist nichts getan, wir sind gar bald verloren; es streit't für uns der rechte Mann, den Gott hat selbst erkoren. Fragst du, wer der ist? Er heißt Jesus Christ, der Herr Zebaoth, und ist kein andrer Gott, das Feld muß er behalten! 3 Und wenn die Welt voll Teufel wär' und wollt' uns gar verschlingen, so fürchten wir uns nicht so sehr, es soll uns doch gelingen. Der Fürst dieser Welt, wie sau'r er sich stellt, tut er uns doch nicht; das macht, er ist gericht't; ein Wörtlein kann ihn fällen. 4 Das Wort sie sollen lassen stahn, und kein'n Dank dazu haben: er ist bei uns wohl auf dem Plan mit seinem Geist und Gaben. Nehmen sie uns den Leib, Gut, Ehr', Kind und Weib: laß fahren dahin; sie haben's kein'n Gewinn, das Reich muß uns doch bleiben. It's been translated into English many dozens of times. The version sung here was translated by Frederick H. Hedge in 1853, and is more popular with non-Lutheran Protestants. A more traditional Lutheran translation begins "A mighty fortress is our God, a trusty shield and weapon" and is from 1868 Pennsylvania Lutheran Church Book. The version Dave Howard references was written for the 1978 Lutheran Book of Worship (the "green hymnal" from ELCA Lutheran churches).
