How firm a foundation

Author: Richard Keen Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 2,125 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 52:1-3 First Line: How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord Lyrics: 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, you who unto Jesus for refuge have fled? 2 Fear not, he is with thee, O be not dismayed; for he is thy God, and will still give thee aid; he'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand, upheld by his righteous, omnipotent hand. 3 In every condition, in sickness, in health, in poverty's vale, or abounding in wealth; at home and abroad, on the land, on the sea, as thy days may demand shall thy strength ever be. 4 When through the deep waters he calls thee to go, the rivers of grief shall not thee overflow; for he will be with thee in trouble to bless, and sanctify to thee thy deepest distress. 5 When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie, his grace, all-sufficient shall be thy supply; the flame shall not hurt thee, his only design thy dross to consume and thy gold to refine. 6 The soul that on Jesus has leaned for repose, he will not, he cannot, desert to its foes; that soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake, he never will leave, he will never forsake.
