How Firm a Foundation

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
Who unto the Savior, who unto the Savior
Who unto the Savior for refuge have fled

In ev'ry condition—in sickness, in health
In poverty's vale or abounding in wealth
At home or abroad, on the land or the sea
As thy days may demand, as thy days may demand
As thy days may demand, so thy succor shall be

Fear not, I am with thee; oh, be not dismayed
For 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, upheld by my righteous
Upheld by my righteous, omnipotent hand

The soul that on Jesus hath leaned for repose
I will not, I cannot, desert to his foes
That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake
I'll never, no never, I'll never, no never
I'll never, no never, no never forsake
