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,
	to you who for refuge to Jesus have fled?
	


2.	"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.
	


3.	"When through deep waters I call thee
	to go,
	the rivers of woe shall not thee overflow;
	
	for I will be with thee, thy troubles to
	bless,
	and sanctify to thee thy deepest distress.
	


4.	"When through fiery trials thy pathways
	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.
