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 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 4

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
