How Firm a Foundation Songtext
von Michael Card

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?


Fear not, I am with thee, O be not dismayed
For I am thy God and will still give thee aid
I′ll strengthen and help thee, and cause thee to stand
Upheld by My righteous, omnipotent hand

When through 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

The soul that on Jesus has lean for repose
I will not, I will not desert to its foes
That soul, though all hell, should endeavor to shake
I will never, no, never, no, never forsake
