Today’s hymn focus will be
How Firm a Foundation
Hebrews 13:6(NASB95)
“so that we confidently say, “The Lord is my helper, I will not be afraid. What will man do to me?”
In 1787 Dr. John Rippon and his Minister of Music, Robert Keene, developed a church hymnal for Carter’s Lane Baptist Church in Bristol, England. While the author of the hymn only bears the letter “K”, many hymnologists and scholars attribute the song to Keene.
The power of this hymn is because the verses are based on biblical promises, starting with the first stanza of the sufficiency of God’s Word for our faith. It goes on to personalize more promises from His Word for each and every one of us.
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?
We need to wake up each and every day by standing on the promises that God has given us. And you can only know what those promises are when you make it a habit of reading His Word to start your day. What is the best vitamin for a healthy Christian life? B -1!

How Firm a Foundation
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
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
I’ll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand
Upheld by My righteous, omnipotent hand
For I am thy God and will still give thee aid
I’ll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand
Upheld by My righteous, 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 troubles to bless
And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress
The rivers of sorrow shall not overflow
For I will be with thee, thy troubles to bless
And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress
When through fiery trials thy pathways shall lie
My grace all sufficient shall be thy supply
The flame shall not hurt thee; I only design
Thy dross to consume and thy gold to refine
My grace all sufficient shall be thy supply
The flame shall not hurt thee; I only design
Thy dross to consume and thy gold to refine
The soul that on Jesus has leaned for repose
I will not, I will not desert to its foes
That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake
I’ll never, no never, no never forsake
I will not, I will not desert to its foes
That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake
I’ll never, no never, no never forsake
