How firm a foundation, oh 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?
 Fear not, I am with you; oh, be not dismayed,
 For I am your God and will still give you aid.
 I'll strengthen you, help you, and cause you to stand,
 Upheld by my righteous, omnipotent hand.
 The soul that to Jesus hath leaned for repose
 I will not, I will not, desert to his foes;
 That soul, though all hell shall endeavor to shake,
 I'll never, no never, no never forsake!
