How Firm A Foundation

Author: George Keith Hymnal: VoP1904 #192 (1904) First Line: How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord! Lyrics: 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? 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, I will still give thee aid; I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand, Upheld by my gracious, omnipotent hand, Upheld by my gracious, omnipotent hand." 3 "When thro' the deep waters I call thee to go, The rivers of sorrow shall not overflow; For I will be with thee thy trouble to bless, And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress, And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress." 4 "When thro' 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, Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine." 5 "E'en down to old age all my people shall prove My soverign, eternal, unchangeable love; And then, when gray hairs shall their temples adorn, Like lambs they shall in my bosom be borne." 6 "The soul that on Jesus hath leaned for repose, I will not--I will not desert to his foes, That soul--though all hell should endeavor to shake, I'll never--no never--no never forsake!" Tune Title: [Portugese Hymn]

Chorus: Yes, Jesus is near, yes, Jesus is near, I only need whisper and Jesus can hear! He hears when I pray; O how can I fear When Jesus my Saviour is near? 2 I have been on the mount, in the wilderness, too, And the Valley of Baca--I've traveled it thro'; But the valley was light and the desert was fair, For I found that my Saviour was waiting me there. [Chorus] 3 I have been in the cloud; I have been in the dark; On the deep, tossing sea with my frail, shallow bark; But the cloud and the dark of the night disappear, And the waters are quiet, for Jesus is near. [Chorus] 4 Thro' the heat of the day, from the earliest morn, I have borne many burdens I could not have borne, Had not Jesus, the dear, loving Savior, each day Been my comfort and helper along the dark way. [Chorus] 5 I am glad, as we sail down the rough sea of life, With the wind and the wave beating round us in strife, There is One who is watching the rock and the shoal, And will guide us all safe to the home of the soul. [Chorus] Tune Title: [I am glad that so well the dear Savior I know]
