The Fountain

Lyrics

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 has said,
You, who unto Jesus for refuge have fled.

In ev’ry condition, in sickness, in health,
In poverty’s vale or abounding in wealth;
At home or abroad, on the land, on the sea,
As thy days may demand shall thy strength ever be.

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