Author: George Keith Appears in 2,144 hymnals 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, Ye who unto Jesus for refuge have fled! 2 In ev'ry condition, in sickness and health, In poverty’s vale, or abounding in wealth, At home or abroad, on the land, on the sea, As thy days may demand shall thy strength ever be. 3 Fear not, I am with thee; O be not dismayed; I—I am thy God, and will still give thee aid; I’ll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand, Upheld by my righteous, Omnipotent hand. 4 E'en down to old age all my people shall prove My constant eternal unchangeable love; And when hoary hairs shall their temples adorn, Like lambs they shall still in my bosom be borne. 5 The soul that on Jesus doth lean 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. Used With Tune: [How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord]
