Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CXXVIII (1792) Topics: Scripture Invitations and Promises; Promises Exceeding great and precious First Line: How firm a foundation ye saints of the Lord Lyrics: 1 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?
You, who unto Jesus for refuge have fled.
2 In every condition, in sickness, in health,
In poverty's vale, or abounding in wealth;
At home and abroad, on the land, on the sea.
'As thy days may demand, shall thy strength ever be.
3 'Fear not, I am with thee, O be not dismay'd,
'I, 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.
4 'When thro' the deep waters I call thee to go
'The rivers of woe shall not thee overflow;
'For I will be with thee thy troubles to bless,
'And sanctify to thee, thy deepest distress.
5 'When thro' 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.
6 'Even down to old age, all my people shall prove
'My sovereign, eternal, unchangeable love;
'And when hoary hairs shall their temples adorn,
'Like lambs they shall still in my bosom be borne.
7 'The soul that on Jesus hath lean'd for repose,
'I will not, I will not desert to his foes;
'That soul, tho' all hell should endeavor to shake,
'I'll never— no never—no never forsake.'*

Hymnal: The Psalter #243 (1912) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Afflictions Promises for; Children Promises for; Covenant Promises First Line: In vision to His saints God spake Lyrics: 1 In vision to His saints God spake;
From out the people one I take,
A mighty leader, true and brave,
Ordained, exalted, strong to save,
Ordained, exalted, strong to save.
2 My chosen servant I appoint,
With holy oil his head anoint;
My hand with him shall still remain,
My arm his strength shall well sustain,
My arm his strength shall well sustain.
3 No enemy shall him affright,
His adversaries I will smite,
My faithfulness to him will prove,
And never more My grace remove,
And never more My grace remove.
4 Yea, he shall triumph in My Name,
And great shall be his pow'r and fame,
From sea to sea his mighty hand
Shall hold dominion o'er the land,
Shall hold dominion o'er the land.
5 Thou art my Father, he shall cry,
My God, my rock of refuge high;
My first-born son shall he be owned,
Above the kings of earth enthroned,
Above the kings of earth enthroned.
6 For him My mercy shall endure,
My covenant made with him is sure,
His throne and race I will maintain
Forever, while the heavens remain,
Forever, while the heavens remain.
7 Should sons of his My laws forsake,
My just commands and statues break,
Then, though My rod their sins reprove,
My mercy I will not remove,
My mercy I will not remove.
8 Though they be chastened sore and tried,
My faithfulness shall yet abide;
My plighted word I will not break,
Nor change the promise that I spake,
Nor change the promise that I spake.
9 My oath is steadfast, ever sure,
My servant's race shall still endure;
His throne forever firm shall stay
When sun and moon have passed away,
When sun and moon have passed away.
10 On Thy anointed wrath is poured
As if Thy covenant were abhorred;
Thou hast profaned his kingly crown,
His matchless strength is broken down,
His matchless strength is broken down.
11 He is reproached and spoiled of all,
His enemies upon him fall;
His beauty is consumed away,
Forgotten is his kingly sway,
Forgotten is his kingly sway.
12 Cut off in youth, his sacred name
Is covered now with deepest shame;
How long, O Lord, shall wrath abide?
Thy face forever wilt Thou hide?
Thy face forever wilt Thou hide?
13 Think on my life; O Lord, take thought;
Hast Thou created man for nought?
What man that lives has power to save
His soul from death, and from the grave?
His soul from death, and from the grave?
14 Where are Thy mercies which of old
Where in Thy promises foretold?
Remember, Lord, the bitter shame
Heaped on Thy own anointed's name,
Heaped on Thy own anointed's name.
15 Blest be the Lord for evermore,
Whose promise stands from days of yore.
His word is faithful now as then;
Blest be His Name. Amen. Amen.
Blest be His Name, Amen. Amen.

To him that Earth's Foundation laid;
Praise to the God, whose strong Decrees
Sway the Creation as he please.
2 Praise to the Goodness of the Lord,
Who rules his People by his Word,
And there, as strong as his Decrees,
He sets his kindest Promises.
[3 Firm are the Words his Prophets give,
Sweet Words on which his Children live;
Each of them is the Voice of God,
Who spoke and spread the Skies abroad.
4 Each of them pow'rful as that Sound
That bid the new made Heav'ns go round;
And stronger than the solid Poles,
On which the Wheel of Nature rolls.]
5 Whence then should Doubts and fears arise?
Why trickling Sorrows drown our Eyes?
Slowly, alas! our Mind receives
The Comfort that our Maker gives.
6 Oh, for a strong, a Lasting Faith,
To credit what th' Almighty saith!
T' embrace the Message of his Son,
And call the Joys of Heav'n our own.
7 Then should the Earth's old Pillars shake,
And all the Wheels of Nature break,
Our steady Souls should fear no more
Than solid Rocks when Billows roar.
8 Our everlasting Hopes arise
Above the ruinable Skies,
Where the eternal Builder reigns,
And his own Courts his Pow'r sustains. Languages: English

Adam our head and parent fell;
Unknown before, a pleasure spread
Thro' all the mazy deeps of hell.

The new-made world destroy'd, undone;
But God proclaims his great decree,
Pardon and mercy thro' his son.
3 Serpent accurs'd, thy sentence read,
Almighty vengeance thou shalt feel:
The woman's seed shall break thy head,
Thy malice faintly bruise his heel.
4 Thus God declares, and Christ descends,
Assumes a mortal form, and dies;
Whilst in his death, death's empire ends,
And the proud conqueror conquer'd lies.
5 Dying, the king of glory deals
Ruin to all his numerous foes:
His power the prince of darkness feels,
And sinks oppress'd beneath his woes.
