The United Methodist Hymnal Music Supplement ‎#112

112. [A mighty fortress is our God]

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 forever!
