How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord

Author: K Hymnal: The Hymnal #283 (1950) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Topics: Processionals 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? You who unto Jesus for refuge have fled? 2 "Fear not, I am with thee, O 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 righteous, omnipotent hand, Upheld by My righteous, omnipotent hand. 3 "When through the deep waters I call thee to go, The rivers of woe shall not thee overflow; For I will be near thee, thy troubles 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." Amen. Tune Title: ADESTE FIDELES
