The fourth verse of the great old hymn, “How Firm a Foundation,” says,

“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!”

This hymn is written as if God is speaking to us, promising us that He will never forsake us. What a blessed assurance this is! God’s presence is with us and God’s providence is for us.
