How firm a foundation, you saints of the Lord

Is laid for your faith in His excellent Word

What more can He say to you than He has said

You, who unto Jesus for refuge have fled

In every condition, in sickness, in health

In poverty’s vale, or abounding in wealth
Am Em F G
At home and abroad, on the land, on the sea,

As days may demand, shall your strength ever be

Fear not, I am with you, O be not dismayed

I’ll strengthen and help you, and cause you to stand

Upheld by My righteous, omnipotent hand

When through fiery trials your pathways shall lie,
Am F G
My grace, all sufficient, shall be your supply
Am Em F G
The flame shall not hurt you; my only design

Your dross to consume, and your gold to refine

[Verse 5]

The soul that on Jesus has leaned for repose
Am F G
I will not, I will not desert to its foes
Am Em F G
That soul, though all hell should endeavour to shake
C F C
I’ll never, no never, no never forsake
