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 oh, be not dismayed For I am thy God and will still give thee aid Ill strengthen thee, help thee and cause thee to stand Upheld by My gracious omnipotent hand When through the deep waters I call thee to go The rivers of sorrow shall not overflow For I will be with thee thy trouble to bless And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress. When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie My grace, all-sufficient shall be thy supply The flame shall not harm thee I only design! Thy dross to consume and thy gold to refine. doth lean for repose I will not, I will not, desert to his foes That soul, though all hell should endeavour to shake Ill never, no never, no never forsake.

Luke 8:16-21 John Ferguson
