A classic hymn emphasizing the strength and reliability of Gods Word and His faithful presence.
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
To you who for refuge to Jesus have fled
Fear not I am with thee O be not dismayed
For I am thy God and will still give thee aid
Ill strengthen thee help thee and cause thee to stand
Upheld by My righteous omnipotent hand
When through the deep waters I call thee to go
The rivers of sorrow shall not overflow
For I will be with thee thy troubles to bless
And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress
When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie
My grace all sufficient shall be thy supply
The flame shall not hurt thee I only design
Thy dross to consume and thy gold to refine
The soul that on Jesus hath leaned for repose
I will not I will not desert to his foes
That soul though all hell should endeavor to shake
Ill never no never no never forsake
