Author: G. Keene Hymnal: Hallowed Hymns, New and Old #201 (1908) 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,--
To you, who for refuge to Jesus have fled?
To you, who for refuge to Jesus have fled?
2 "Fear not, I am with thee, oh, be not dismayed,
For I am thy God, I will still give thee aid;
I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand,
Upheld by My gracious, omnipotent hand,
Upheld by My gracious, omnipotent hand.
3 "When through the deep waters I call thee to go,
The rivers of sorrow shall not overflow;
For I will be with thee thy trouble to bless,
And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress,
And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress.
4 "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!
I'll never--no never--no never forsake!"
