How Firm A Foundation
1787 · Traditional
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 has said, to you who for refuge to Jesus have fled?
Fear not! I am with you! O be not dismayed, for I am your God and will still give you aid. I’ll strengthen you, help you, and cause you to stand, upheld by my righteous, omnipotent hand.
When through fiery trials your pathway will lie, my grace, all-sufficient, will be your supply. The flames will not hurt you; I only design your dross to consume and your gold to refine.
The soul that on Jesus has leaned for repose, I will not, I will not desert to his foes. That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake, I’ll never, no never, no never forsake.
