How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord (revised)

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?

He never shall perish who in Him believes;

None can from His hand snatch the sheep He receives;

The Father is greater and one with the Son;

Of those He has giv’n Him

He will not lose one.

Oh

who can accuse me whom God justified?

For debt

still pursue me for whom the Lord died?

God’s righteousness given me

who can negate?

From Christ’s love now mine

who can me separate?

He’ll never discard those who to Him draw nigh

But save to the end all who on Him rely;

He’s my very life; of His Body a part

And e’en one with Him

can I e’er be apart?

When met with temptation

when foe would deceive

When heart

tossed by storm

finds it hard to believe

I quick cast faith’s anchor

to God’s word hold fast

Which

firm and secure

shall eternally last.
