How Firm a Foundation
How firm a foundation, you saints of the Lord,
is laid for your faith in God's excellent word!
What more can God say than to you God has said,
to you who for refuge to Jesus have fled?
"Fear not, I am with you, O, be not dismayed,
for I am your God, and will still give you aid.
I'll strengthen and help you, and cause you to stand,
upheld by my righteous, omnipotent hand.
"The soul that on Jesus still leans 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!"
