Hymn: How firm a foundation.

(I discovered this hymn on the Together for the Gospel CD. That CD is a great singalong hymn-learning resource.)

After the first verse, all the verses are sung from God, if that makes sense. We sing to Got what he said to us. ie,

Fear not—I am with you, oh be not dismayed,
for I am your God, and will still give you aid.

That's a very unusual voice to write a Christian song in. It can be kind of confusing.

It's a good song to sing when you are walking in the rain, because there is a verse that goes: When though the deep water I call you to go the rivers of sorrow shall not overflow...

I especially like the last verse: the repetition for emphasis, singing about hell and foes. Leaves me pumped full of singing endorphins.

The soul that on Jesus shall lean for repose
I will not, I WILL NOT, desert to its foes.
That soul, tho all hell should endeavour to break,
I'll never, no never, no NEVER forsake.
