##(Verse 1)
How
 firm
 a fou
ndation, ye
 saints of the
 Lord,
Is
 laid
 for your
 faith
 in His
 ex
cellent
 word!
What
 more can He
 say than to
 you He hath
 said,
To
 you
 who for
 r
efuge to
 Je
sus hath
 fled.

##(Verse 2)
"Fear
 not,
 I am
 with thee, O
 be not di
smayed,
For
 I
 am your
 God,
 and will
 still
 give thee
 aid;
I'll
 strengthen thee,
 help thee and
 cause thee to
 stand,
U
pheld
 by My
 righ
teous, o
mni
potent
 hand."

##(Verse 3)
"When
 through
 the deep
 waters I
 call thee to
 go,
The
 r
ivers of
 so
rrow shall
 not
 ove
rflow;
For 
I will be
 with thee, thy
 troubles to
 bless,
And
 san
ctify
 to
 thee thy
 dee
pest di
stress."

##(Verse 4)
"When
 through
 fiery
 trials thy
 pathway shall
 lie,
My
 grace,
 all su
ff
icient shall
 be 
 thy su
pply;
The 
flame shall not
 hurt thee; I
 only d
esign
Thy
 dross
 to co
nsume,
 and thy
 gold
 to r
efine."

##(Verse 5)
"The
 soul
 that on
 Jesus hath
 leaned for r
epose,
I
 will
 not, I
 will
 not d
esert
 to his
 foes;
That
 soul, though all
 hell should e
ndeavor to
 shake,
I'll
 n
ever, no
 n
ever, no
 ne
ver fo
rsake!"
