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?
You who unto Jesus for refuge have fled?

Fear not, He is with thee, oh, be not dismayed
For He is thy God and will still give thee aid
He'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand
Upheld by His righteous, Omnipotent hand

When through the deep waters, He calls thee to go
The rivers of grief shall not thee overflow
For He will be with thee in trouble to bless
And sanctify to thee, thy deepest distress

When through fiery trials, thy pathway shall lie
His grace, all-sufficient, shall be thy supply
The flame shall not hurt thee, His only design
Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine

The soul that on Jesus has leaned for repose
He will not, He cannot desert to His foes
That soul, though all hell, should endeavor to shake
He never will leave, He will never forsake
