Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

 HAow firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord,

 Is lEaid for your faDith in His excellent WoArd!

 What mEore can He saDy than to you He hath sAaid

Who unto the Savior,Who unto the Savior,

 Who uEnto the SaviDor, for refuge have fAled?

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

 In poEverty's valDe, or abounding in weAalth,

 At hoEme and abroad, Don the land, or the Asea, --

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

 As tEhy days may demanDd, So thy suAccor shall be.

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

 For I am thy GEod and will Dstill give thee aAid;

 I'll strengthen Ethee, help thee, Dand cause thee to Astand,

Upheld by My righteous, Upheld by My righteous,

 UphelEd by My righteous, Domnipotent hanAd.

When through the deep waters I call thee to go,

 The riEvers of sorrow Dshall not overfloAw;

 For EI will be with thee Dthy troubles to bAless

And sanctify to thee, And sanctify to thee,

 And Esanctify to thee, Dthy deepest distresAs.

When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie,

 My grEace, all-sufficient, Dshall be thy suppAly.

 The fElames shall not hurt thee; DI only desigAn

Thy dross to consume, Thy dross to consume,

 Thy drEoss to consume, Dand thy gold to refiAne.

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

 My soverEeign, eternal, Dunchangeable lovAe;

 And whEen gray hairs shall their Dtemples adoArn,

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

 Like laEmbs they shall still Din My bosom be boArne.

The soul that on Jesus hath leaned for repose

 I wEill not, I cannot, Ddesert to his foAes;

 That sEoul, though all hell should Dendeavor to shAake,

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

 I'll neEver, no never, Dno never, forsakAe!
