Therefore, brethren, since we have confidence to enter the holy place by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way which He inaugurated for us through the veil, that is, His flesh, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.

Hebrews 10:19-22

How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord

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,
   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 with thee, thy troubles to bless,
   And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress.”
4. ”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.”
5. “E’en down to old age all My people shall prove
   My sovereign, eternal, unchangeable love;
   And then, when grey hairs shall their temples adorn,
   Like lambs they shall still in My bosom be borne.”
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!”
