Chorus / Description : The song emphasizes God's unwavering support and faithfulness to believers, assuring them of strength, refuge, and His presence through life's trials.
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, O 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
When through fiery trials thy pathway 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
The soul that on Jesus hath 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'll never, no, never, no, never forsake
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Never forsake
Oh, oh, oh, oh
