How Firm a Foundation

 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 has said,

You who unto Jesus

For refuge have fled?


Verse 2

In every condition,

In sickness, in health,

In poverty's vale,

Or abounding in wealth;

At home, or abroad,

On the land, on the sea,

"As your days may demand,

Shall your strength ever be."

[Deuteronomy 33:25]


Verse 3

"Fear not, I am with you;

O be not dismayed;

For I am your God,

And will still give you aid;

I'll strengthen you,

Help you, and cause you to stand,

Upheld by My righteous

Omnipotent hand."

[Isaiah 41:10]


Verse 4

"When through the deep

Waters I call you to go,

The rivers of woe

Shall not you overflow;

For I will be with you,

Your troubles to bless,

And sanctify to you

Your deepest distress."

[Isaiah 43:2, 2 Corinthians 12:9]


Verse 5

"When through fiery trials

Your pathway shall lie,

My grace all-sufficient

Shall be your supply;

The flame shall not hurt you;

I only design

Your dross to consume,

And your gold to refine."

[Isaiah 43:2, 2 Corinthians 12:9]


Verse 6

"Even down to old age,

All My people shall prove

My sovereign, eternal,

Unchangeable love;

And when graying hairs

Shall their temples adorn,

Like lambs they shall still

In my bosom be born."

[Isaiah 46:4]


Verse 7

"The soul that on Jesus

Has 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."

[Hebrews 13:5]
