Lyrics:

A mighty fortress is our God!
A bulwark never-failing.
Our helper he amid the flood
Of mortal ills prevailing.
You ask who he might be?
Great Tiwaz, it is be!
Though he has but one hand,
The power at his command
Can quell the might of armies.

When Fenris threatened Midgard's life,
Brave Tyr made no delaying,
His bold right hand, that held the knife,
Within the wolf's jaws laying.
The wolf he bound that day,
Feared not the price to pay.
Most quick to right a wrong,
He fights the battle long
Where justice needs repaying.

Did we in earthly laws confide,
Weak weapons we'd be using;
Were not the Just One on our side,
The God of rightful choosing.
Though kings may rise and fall,
Great Tyr rules over all.
Above the mists of night,
He shines his holy light,
The true course never losing.
