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 In every condition, in sickness, in health In poverty's vale, or abounding in wealth At home and abroad, on the land, on the sea As thy days may demand, shall thy strength every be Fear not, I am with thee, O be not dismayed For I am thy God and will still give thee aid I'll strengthen and 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 pathways 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 Even down to old age, all My people shall prove My sovereign, eternal, unchangeable love And when hoary hairs shall their temples adorn Like lambs they shall still in My bosom be borne The soul that on Jesus has 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 Lyrics: "K" in Rippon's selection, 1787 Music: Joseph Funk, 1832
