Hymn FocusThis hymn has been a popular favorite amongst Christians ever since it first

appeared, in 1787. It was published then Dr. John Rippon, a Baptist minister in London. When it appeared in Rippon’s A Selection of Hymns, it was signed

simply “K.” All efforts to identify this mysterious “K” have been fruitless; and the mystery remains to this day. Whoever he was, he had a thorough knowledge

of practical Christianity and of what is needed to encourage troubled saints in their hour of affliction. In a hymn which draws liberally from the promises of

the Bible, the author emphasizes the only foundation for a faith which will prevail - the Word of God itself.

“How Firm A Foundation”, is said to have been a particular favorite of President Andrew Jackson. The story is told that once General Jackson called

out to a local minister: “There is a beautiful hymn on the subject of the exceeding great and precious promises of God to His people. It was a favorite with my dear wife until the day of her death. It commences thus: ‘How firm a

foundation, ye saints of the Lord!’ I wish you would sing now.”

CBC’s Articles of Faith

We believe that the scriptures teach that

the blessings of salvation are

made free to all by the gospel; …

and that nothing prevents the

salvation of the greatest sinner on earth

but his own inherent depravity

and voluntary rejection of the gospel…
