you saints of the Lord,
is laid for your faith
in his excellent Word;
What more can he say
than to you he has said,
to you who for refuge
to Jesus have fled?
to you who for refuge
to Jesus have fled?
Fear not, I am with you,
O, be not dismayed;
for I am your God
and will still give you aid.
I'll strengthen you, help you
and cause you to sand,
upheld by my righteous,
omnipotent hand,
upheld by my righteous,
omnipotent hand.
When through the deep waters
I call you to go,
the rivers of sorrow
shall not overflow.
For I will be with you
your troubles to bless,
and sanctify to you
your deepest distress,
and sanctify to you
your deepest distress.
When through fiery trials
your pathway shall lie,
my grace all-sufficient
shall be your supply.
The flame shall not hurt you,
I only design
your dross to consume
and your gold to refine,
your dross to consume
and your gold to refine.
The soul that on Jesus
has leaned for repose
I will not, I will not
desert to his 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.
