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 for refuge have fled? | |||
In every condition, in sickness, in health; | |||
In poverty’s vale, or abounding in wealth; | |||
At home and abroad, on the land, on the sea, | |||
As thy days may demand, shall thy strength ever be. | |||
Fear not, I am with thee, O be not dismayed, | |||
For I am thy God and will still give thee aid; | |||
I’ll strengthen and help thee, and cause thee to stand | |||
Upheld by my righteous, omnipotent hand. | |||
How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord, | |||
Amen. | |||

English text
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 for refuge have fled?
In every condition, in sickness, in health;
In poverty’s vale, or abounding in wealth;
At home and abroad, on the land, on the sea,
As thy days may demand, shall thy strength ever be.
Fear not, I am with thee, O be not dismayed,
For I am thy God and will still give thee aid;
I’ll strengthen and help thee, and cause thee to stand
Upheld by my righteous, omnipotent hand.
How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord,
Amen.
