I have contemplated using A Mighty Fortress, but have opted instead for the much more subtle We Gather Together - a song celebrating the the Dutch (Protestant, Reformed variety) over the Spanish (Catholic, Roman variety) forces at the Battle of Turnhout (any guesses on who "the wicked oppressing" were?). Enough people know that Luther wrote A Mighty Fortress that I'd probably get some mean or at least disappointed looks and possibly even a talking-to from the priest. We Gather on the other hand, is merely considered a run-of-the-mill Thanksgiving song.
