{comment:Verse 1}
[E]How firm a foundation, ye saints of the[(B)]Lord,
Is l[E]aid for your [C#m]faith in His [B]excellent [E]word!
What [E]more can He [C#m]say than to y[A]ou He hath [B]said,
To [E]you who for r[C#m]efuge to Je[B]sus hath f[E]led.

{comment:Verse 2}
"Fe[E]ar not, I am with thee, O be not dism[(B)]ayed,
For [E]I am thy [C#m]God, and will s[B]till give thee [E]aid;
I'll st[E]rengthen thee, [C#m]help thee and c[A]ause thee to [B]stand,
Up[E]held by My ri[C#m]ghteous, om[B]nipotent [E]hand."

{comment:Verse 3}
"When th[E]rough the deep waters I call thee to[(B)]go,
The [E]rivers of [C#m]sorrow shall [B]not overf[E]low;
F[E]or I will be w[C#m]ith thee, thy t[A]roubles to bl[B]ess,
And s[E]anctify [C#m]to thee thy d[B]eepest dist[E]ress."

{comment:Verse 4}
"T[E]he soul that on Jesus hath leaned for [(B)]repose,
I wi[E]ll not, I [C#m]will not de[B]sert to his f[E]oes;
That [E]soul, though [C#m]all hell should [A]endeavor to s[B]hake,
I'll [E]never, no [C#m]never, no n[B]ever fo[E]rsake!"
