Standard (EADGBE)

HA ow firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord,

Is lEaid for your faDith in His excellent WoA rd!

What mEore can He saDy than to you He hath sA aid

Who unto the Savior,Who unto the Savior,

Who uEnto the SaviDor, for refuge have fA led?

In every condition, -- in sickness, in health,

In poEverty's valDe, or abounding in weA alth,

At hoEme and abroad, Don the land, or the A sea, --

As thy days may demand, As thy days may demand,

As tEhy days may demanDd, So thy suA ccor shall be.

Fear not, I am with thee, oh, be not dismayed,

For I am thy GEod and will Dstill give thee aA id;

I'll strengthen Ethee, help thee, Dand cause thee to A stand,

Upheld by My righteous, Upheld by My righteous,

UphelEd by My righteous, Domnipotent hanA d.

When through the deep waters I call thee to go,

The riEvers of sorrow Dshall not overfloA w;

For EI will be with thee Dthy troubles to bA less

And sanctify to thee, And sanctify to thee,

And Esanctify to thee, Dthy deepest distresA s.

When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie,

My grEace, all-sufficient, Dshall be thy suppA ly.

The fElames shall not hurt thee; DI only desigA n

Thy dross to consume, Thy dross to consume,

Thy drEoss to consume, Dand thy gold to refiA ne.

E'en down to old age all My people shall prove

My soverEeign, eternal, Dunchangeable lovA e;

And whEen gray hairs shall their Dtemples adoA rn,

Like lambs they shall still, Like lambs they shall still,

Like laEmbs they shall still Din My bosom be boA rne.

The soul that on Jesus hath leaned for repose

I wEill not, I cannot, Ddesert to his foA es;

That sEoul, though all hell should Dendeavor to shA ake,

I'll never, no never, I'll never, no never,

I'll neEver, no never, Dno never, forsakA e!
