<p>How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord,<br>
|
|
Is laid for your faith in His excellent Word!<br>
|
|
What more can He say than to you He hath said,<br>
|
|
You, who unto Jesus for refuge have fled?</p>
|
|
<p>In every condition, in sickness, in health;<br>
|
|
In poverty’s vale, or abounding in wealth;<br>
|
|
At home and abroad, on the land, on the sea,<br>
|
|
As thy days may demand, shall thy strength ever be.</p>
|
|
<p>Fear not, I am with thee, O be not dismayed,<br>
|
|
For I am thy God and will still give thee aid;<br>
|
|
I’ll strengthen and help thee, and cause thee to stand<br>
|
|
Upheld by My righteous, omnipotent hand.</p>
|
|
<p>When through the deep waters I call thee to go,<br>
|
|
The rivers of woe shall not thee overflow;<br>
|
|
For I will be with thee, thy troubles to bless,<br>
|
|
And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress.</p>
|
|
<p>When through fiery trials thy pathways shall lie,<br>
|
|
My grace, all sufficient, shall be thy supply;<br>
|
|
The flame shall not hurt thee; I only design<br>
|
|
Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine.</p>
|
|
<p>Even down to old age all My people shall prove<br>
|
|
My sovereign, eternal, unchangeable love;<br>
|
|
And when hoary hairs shall their temples adorn,<br>
|
|
Like lambs they shall still in My bosom be borne.</p>
|
|
<p>The soul that on Jesus has leaned for repose,<br>
|
|
I will not, I will not desert to its foes;<br>
|
|
That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake,<br>
|
|
I’ll never, no never, no never forsake.</p>
