How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord,
G C Em G
Is laid for your faith in God's excellent Word!

What more can be said than to you God hath said,
G C D G
To you who for refuge to Jesus have fled?
G C G D
When through the deep waters I call thee to go,
G C Em G
The rivers of sorrow shall not overflow;

For I will be near thee, thy troubles to bless,
G C D G
And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress.

When through fiery trials thy pathways shall lie,
G C Em G
My grace, all sufficient, shall be thy supply;
Em C G D
The flame shall not hurt thee; I only design
G C D G
Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine.
