    G          C          G             D   
How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord,
   G             C              Em        G
Is laid for your faith in God's excellent Word!
     Em          C            G            D
What more can be said than to you God hath said,
   G           C         D          G  
To you who for refuge to Jesus have fled?

     G         C            G         D   
Fear not, I am with thee, O be not dismayed,
    G        C            Em             G
For I am thy God, I will still give thee aid;
     Em               C              G             D
I’ll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand,
  G          C             D       G  
Upheld by My righteous, omnipotent hand.

     G                C        G            D
When through the deep waters I call thee to go,
    G         C            Em       G      
The rivers of sorrow shall not overflow;
    Em        C              G           D
For I will be near thee, thy troubles to bless,
    G        C           D       G
And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress.

     G             C          G              D 
When through fiery trials thy pathways shall lie,
   G              C             Em        G
My grace, all sufficient, shall be thy supply;
    Em              C            G      D
The flame shall not hurt thee; I only design
    G           C             D         G
Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine.

    G             C          G           D 
The soul that on Jesus hath leaned for repose,
  G           C           Em         G
I will not, I will not desert to his foes;
     Em               C             G         D
That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake,
     G          C          D         G
I’ll never, no, never, no, never forsake!
