Song Lyrics

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; O 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 the deep waters I call thee to go,

The rivers of woe shall not thee overflow.

For I will be with thee thy troubles to bless

And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress.

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 its foes:

That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake

I’ll never, no never no never forsake
