Hymn 10 HOW FIRM A FOUNDATION Lyrics

1. How firm a foundation, ye saints of the
Lord, Is laid for your faith in excellent
Word! What more can He say than to you
he hath said. You who unto Jesus for refinge
have fled?

2. “In every condition, in sickness, in
health, In poverty’s vale, or abounding
wealth, At home and abroad, on the land.
on the sea, As your days may demand, shall
your strength be

3. “When through fiery trails thy pailway
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

4. E’en down to old age, all my people
shall prove My sovereign eternal,
Unchangeable love: And when hoary hairs
shall their temples adorn,
Like lambs they shall still in My bosom be
bome.

5. “The soul that on Jesus hath leaned for
repose. I will not, I will not desert to its
foes. That soul, though all hell should
endeavour to shake, I’ll never, no, never,
no, never forsake!”
