-<poem>
-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,
-who unto the Savior for refuge have fled?
-When through firey 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.
-Fear not, I am with thee; oh, 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 omnipotent hand.
-When through the deep waters I call thee to go,
-The rivers of sorrow shall not thee o’erflow,
-For I will be with thee, thy troubles to bless,
-And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress.
-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.
-</poem>
