How Firm a Foundation

The Children Sing, 77


1. 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, You who unto Jesus, you who unto Jesus, You who unto Jesus for refuge have fled?

2. In ev’ry condition, in sickness, in health, In poverty’s vale or abounding in wealth, At home or abroad, on the land or the sea, As thy days may demand, as thy days may demand, As thy days may demand, so thy succor shall be.

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