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,
Who unto the Savior, who unto the Savior,
Who unto the Savior for refuge have fled?
Now let us rejoice in the day of salvation
No longer as strangers on earth need we roam
Good tidings are sounding to us and each nation
And shortly the hour of redemption will come
When all that was promised the Saints will be given
And none will molest them from morn until ev'n
And earth will appear as the Garden of Eden
And Jesus will say to all Israel, "Come home."
I know that my Redeemer lives.
What comfort this sweet sentence gives!
He lives, he lives, who once was dead.
He lives, my ever-living Head.
He lives! All glory to his name!
He lives, my Savior, still the same.
Oh, sweet the joy this sentence gives:
"I know that my Redeemer lives!"
The Lord is my light; then why should I fear?
By day and by night his presence is near
He is my salvation from sorrow and sin
This blessed assurance the Spirit doth bring.
The Lord is my light
He is my joy and my song
By day and by night
He leads, he leads me along
The Lord is my light
He is my joy and my song
By day and by night
He leads, he leads me
Let us all press on in the work of the Lord
That when life is o'er we may gain a reward
In the fight for right let us wield a sword
The mighty sword of truth
Fear not, though the enemy deride
Courage, for the Lord is on our side
We will heed not what the wicked may say
But the Lord alone we will obey
The Lord alone we will obey
