Representative Text

1 We have a firm foun­da­tion,
Whose hope is in the Lord;
We have a bless­èd ha­ven,
Who anchor in His word;
Though surges break around us,
And clouds our sky may dim,
He will not leave to per­ish
One soul that clings to Him.

Refrain:
Give praise to our Re­deem­er,
O magnify His grace;
Our everlasting por­tion,
Our sure abid­ing place.

2 We have a strong de­liv­er­er,
Who trust His migh­ty arm;
Not all the hosts of dark­ness
His chos­en ones can harm;
His arm that brought sal­va­tion
Defends them from above;
They rest with­in His mer­cy,
O’ershadowed by His love. [Refrain]

3 O love that stooped from Hea­ven
To lift us up to God,
O love, that to re­deem us,
The path of sor­row trod;
Through yon­der land of Beu­lah
Glad harps with rap­ture ring,
And num­bers with­out num­ber
Its bound­less tri­umph sing. [Refrain]
