How Firm A Foundation

Last night I had the privilege of hearing a homeschool friend share her testimony. She concluded by reading the lyrics to an old Hymn. It was very encouraging.

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?

Fear not, I am with thee; O be not dismayed,

For I am thy God, and will still give the aid;

I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand,

Upheld by My righteous, omnipotent hand.

When through fiery 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.

The souls that on Jesus hath leaned for repose

I will not, I will not desert to its foes;

That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake,

I'll never, no, never, no, never forsake.
