1 How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord,
Is laid for your faith in God's excellent Word!
What more can be said than to you God hath said,
To you who for refuge to Jesus have fled?

2 "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.

3 "When through the deep waters I call thee to go,
The rivers of sorrow shall not overflow;
For I will be near thee, thy troubles to bless,
And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress.

4 "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!"

1 ¡Cuán firme cimiento se ha dado a la fe,
de Dios en su eterna Palabra de amor!
¿Qué más él pudiera en su libro añadir
si todo a sus fieles lo ha dicho el Señor?

2 "No temas por nada, contigo estoy;
tu Dios yo soy solo, tu ayuda seré.
Tu fuerza y firmeza en mi diestra estarán,
y en ella sostén y poder te daré.

3 "No habrán de anegarte las ondas del mar,
si en aguas profundas te ordeno salir.
Pues siempre contigo en angustia estaré,
y todas tus penas podré bendecir.

4 "Al alma que anhele la paz que hay en mí,
jamás en sus luchas la habré de dejar.
Si todo el infierno la quiere perder,
¡yo nunca, no, nunca la puedo olvidar!"
