Seems hard to identify author of the words - Words: From A Se­lect­ion of Hymns from the Best Au­thors, by John Rip­pon, 1787; at­trib­ut­ed var­i­ous­ly to John Keene, Kirk­ham, and John Keith.

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.”

Franklyn Daresalaam I just figured out all the three stages of the believer's life in this hymn reference to our salvation—Justification, Sanctification, and Glorification The writer presents clearly: 1. The assurance of our standing—on the only reliable/ dependable foundation. 2. The assurance of our progress in our walk as we go through life. 3. The assurance of us going right through to glory. What blessed assurance "He is able to keep you [all believers] from falling and to present you [all believers] faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy"- Jude 24
