How firm a foundation, you saints of the lord Is laid for your faith in his excellent word What more can he say than to you he has said To you who for refuge to Jesus have fled Fear not, he is with us, oh be not dismayed For he is our god, our sustainer and strength He'll be our defender and cause us to stand Upheld by his merciful, almighty hand How firm, our foundation How sure, our salvation And we will not be shaken Jesus, firm foundation The soul that is trusting in Jesus as lord Will press on enduring the darkest of storm And though even hell should endeavor to shake He'll never, no never, no never forsake He'll never, no never, no never forsake How firm, our foundation How sure, our salvation And we will not be shaken Jesus, firm foundation Age to age he stands Faithful to the end All may fade away But he will remain He will remain! How firm, our foundation How sure, our salvation And we will not be shaken Jesus, firm foundation
