My Heavenly Father, I thank You, through Jesus Christ, Your beloved

Son, that You kept me safe from all evil and danger last night. Save me,

I pray, today as well, from every evil and sin, so that all I do and the way

that I live will please you. I put myself in your care, body and soul and all

that I have. Let Your holy Angels be with me, so that the evil enemy will

not gain power over me. Amen

My Heavenly Father, I thank You, through Jesus Christ, Your beloved Son, that You have

protected me, by Your grace. Forgive, I pray, all my sins and the evil I have done. Protect me, by

Your grace, tonight. I put myself in your care, body and soul and all that I have. Let Your holy

angels be with me, so that the evil enemy will not gain power over me. Amen.

A Mighty Fortress is Our God!

A mighty fortress is our God, A sword and shield victorious;

He breaks the cruel oppressor's rod, And wins salvation glorious.

The old satanic foe, Has sworn to work us woe!

With craft and dreadful might, He arms himself to fight.

On earth he has no equal.

No strength of ours can match his might!  We should be lost, rejected.

But now a champion comes to fight, Whom God himself elected.

You ask who this may be?  The Lord of hosts is he! 

Christ Jesus, Mighty Lord, God's only son adored.

He holds the field victorious.

Though hordes of devils fill the land, All threatening to devour us,

We tremble not!  Unmoved we stand.  They can not over power us.

Let this world's tyrant rage, in battle we'll engage!

His might is doomed to fail; God's judgment must prevail!

One little word subdues him.

God's word forever shall abide, No thanks to foes, who fear it;

For God himself fights by our side, With weapons of the Spirit.

Were they to take our house, goods honor child or spouse,

Though life be wretched away, They can not win the day.

The Kingdom's ours forever!

Written by Martin Luther (Paraphrasing Psalm 46) between 1527 - 1529.
