How firm a foundation
You saints of the Lord
Has been laid for your faith
In his excellent word
What more can he say
Than to you he said
Unto you, who for refuge
To Jesus have fled?
And when through fiery trials
Your pathway shall lie
My grace all-sufficient shall be your supply
I'll strengthen you, help you
And cause you to stand
Upheld by my righteous, omnipotent hand
The soul that on Jesus
Has leaned for repose
I will not, I will not
Desert to his foes
That soul, though all hell
Shall endeavour to shake
I will never, no never
No never forsake
How firm a foundation
You saints of the Lord
Has been laid for your faith
In his excellent word
A promise of God
To his children below
'Do not fear, I am with you
Wherever you go'
