Members *Light* Posted October 26, 2018 Members Share Posted October 26, 2018 How firm a foundation: By John Rippon 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, who unto the Savior 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 days may demand, shall thy strength ever be." 3 "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." 4 "When through the deep waters I call thee to go, the rivers of sorrow shall not overflow; for I will be with thee, thy troubles to bless, and sanctify to thee thy deepest distress." 5 "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." 6 "The soul that on Jesus hath 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!"

Members Jordan Kurecki Posted October 27, 2018 Members Share Posted October 27, 2018 It's sad that most versions of this song in our Hymn Books do not contain all the original verses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members *Light* Posted October 27, 2018 Author Members Share Posted October 27, 2018 That truly is sad, Jordan! The Satan despises hymns that contain doctrinal truth in them; so he tries to remove them hoping that no one will notice. Both the music and the lyrics contained in almost all CCM are sensual and carnal and have almost nothing to do with Glorifying God. These supposed Christians who listen to CCM will have the same reaction while listening to secualr music, and I have experienced this many times before.

Moderators Salyan Posted October 31, 2018 Moderators Share Posted October 31, 2018 CCM = Contemporary Christian Music. Usually used here to refer to praise music with an upbeat or other forms of Christian rock music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators HappyChristian Posted October 31, 2018 Administrators Share Posted October 31, 2018 Our hymnbook has 5 verses in it - 1,2,5,and 6 above. But we have an additional verse: E'en 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.
