509- How Firm A Foundation

Christian Life: Faith and Trust

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,
  • To you who for refuge to Jesus hath fled?

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.

3

  • When thro’ the deep waters I call thee to go,
  • The rivers of sorrow shall not overflow
  • For I will be with thee, thy troubles to bless,
  • And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress.

4

  • When thro 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.

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.
