How Firm A Foundation

How firm a foundation ye saints of the Lord

Is laid for your faith in His excellent word.

What more can He say

Than to you He hath said;

To you

Who for refuge to Jesus have fled?

Fear not

I am with thee

Oh be not dismayed

For I am thy God

and will still give thee aid.

I'll strengthen thee

Help thee

And cause thee to stand

Upheld by my righteous

omnipotent hand.

When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie

My grace all-sufficient shall be thy supply.

The flame shall not hurt thee

I only design

Thy dross to consume

And thy gold to refine.

The soul that on Jesus hath leaned for repose

I will not

I will not desert to his foes.

That soul

though all hell should endeaver to shake

I never

No never

No never forsake.

That soul

though all hell should endeaver to shake

I will never

No never

No never forsake.
