O Blessed Sure FoundationDon Fortner

(Tune: #407 – Lead On, O King Eternal – 76.76D)

In all our worst afflictions, When troubles great surround,

Amid our souls’ vexations, When Satan would confound,

When, like the restless ocean, Corruptions so unclean

Stir all our base emotions Of vileness deep within, --

 

When love to God seems dying And hope begins to shake,

When God seems to be frowning And ready to forsake,

Then let us look to Jesus, The sinner’s faithful Friend!

Our God will not forsake us; But will our souls defend!

 

Our hope is not within us, But yonder, on the Throne!

Our God, who has redeemed us, Still loves, yes, loves His own!

O blessed, sure foundation: – Our God still loves His own!

O blessed, sure foundation: – Our God still loves His own!
