How Firm a Foundation

Lyrics

VERSE 1

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

VERSE 2

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

VERSE 3

When through the deep waters
I call thee to go
The rivers of sorrow
will not overflow
For I will be with thee
thy troubles to bless
and sanctify to thee
thy deepest distress

VERSE 4

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

VERSE 5

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 endeavor to shake
I’ll never no never
no never forsake

TAG

That soul though all hell
should endeavor to shake
I’ll never no never no never forsake
