How Firm A Foundation

G Em G D how firm a foundation , ye saints of the lord , G C G Em G D D7 G is laid for your faith in his excellent word! G Em C G D what more can he say than to you he hath said , G C G Em G/D D7 G to you who for refuge to jesus hath fled . G Em G D "fear not , i Am with thee , o be not dismayed , G C G Em G D D7 G for i Am your god , and will still give thee aid; G Em C G D i’ll strengthen thee , help thee and cause thee to stand , G C G Em G/D D7 G upheld by my righteous , omnipotent hand . " G Em G D "when through the deep waters i call thee to go , G C G Em G D D7 G the rivers of sorrow shall not overflow; G Em C G D for i will be with thee , thy troubles to bless , G C G Em G/D D7 G and sanctify to thee thy deepest distress . " G Em G D "when through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie , G C G Em G D D7 G my grace , all sufficient shall be thy supply; G Em C G D the flame shall not hurt thee; i only design G C G Em G/D D7 G thy dross to consume , and thy gold to refine . " G Em G D "the soul that on jesus hath leaned for repose , G C G Em G D D7 G i will not , i will not desert to his foes; G Em C G D that soul , though all hell should endeavor to shake , G C G Em G/D D7 G i’ll never , no never , no never forsake!"
