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
Who you, who for refuge to Jesus have fled?

"Fear not, I am with thee, oh be not dismayed, for I am thy God
I will still give thee aid, the strengthened, the healthy, and
Those need to stand, propelled by my righteous, omnipotent hand."

When through fiery trials, thy refuge I am, when through fiery
Trials thy refuge I am, my grace all sufficient shall be thy supply
The flames shall not hurt thee, the flames shall not hurt thee
The flames shall not hurt thee, the flames shall not hurt thee
I only design thy dross to consume and thy gold to refine

The soul that on Jesus hath leaned for repose
I will not, I will not desert to his foes
The soul, though all hell should endeavor to
Shake, I'll never, no never, no never forsake!
