In John Rippon's A Selection of Hymns (1787, plus numerous subsequent editions), "How Firm a Foundation" (no. 128) is attributed merely to "Chiliad—". Two other hymns in the drove bear the same marking, "In songs of sublime adoration and praise," and "The Bible is justly esteemed." The author of the hymn has never been definitively identified, but the most common candidates are listed below. I. Robert Nifty(e) The well-nigh probable possibility is Robert Keene, who served as precentor at Rippon's church. The evidence for connecting K with Keene comes (one) from his close acquaintance with Rippon, (2) Rippon's tune book, and (three) the testimony (of sorts) of Thomas Walker.

Writer (attributed to): George Keith

George Keith, according to D. Sedgwick, was the writer of "How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord." Picayune is known about Keith, save that he was a publisher, a son-in-law of Dr. Gill, and the composer of several hymns. --Annotations of the Hymnal, Charles Hutchins, M.A. 1872. Go to person page >


Author (attributed to): R. Keen

Robert Keen (or Keene) was the leader of music and the Carter Lane Baptist Church in London when John Rippon was the pastor. It was during this time that Rippon collected and published his Selections in 1787. He is the likely writer of "How House a Foundation." Get to person folio >

Notes

Scripture References:
st. i = 1 Cor. 3:11
st. 2 = Isa. 41:ten
st. 3-4 = Isa. 43:2
st. 5 = Rom. viii:35-39, Heb. 13:5, Deut. 31:6

Based on Isaiah 43: ane-5, this text was given the heading "Exceeding keen and precious Promises. Ii Peter three:4" [sic. 2 Peter i:4] in John Rippon'southward A Selection of Hymns (1787). The author was listed simply every bit "G" Although some scholars are non convinced of this attribution, "Chiliad" presumably refers to Richard Nifty, vocal leader in the London church where Rippon was minister. With minor alterations, stanzas 1, 3-five, and 7 are included from the original seven stanzas.

"How House a Foundation" is a noble text, full of condolement for God'south people whose "foundation" of faith is rooted in the Word (st. 1) and whose lives experience divine protection when they face "deep waters" and "fiery trials" (st. 2-iv). The final stanza clearly moves beyond the text's Onetime Attestation source and proclaims the certainty of redemption in Christ.

A Baptist minister, Rippon (b. Tiverton, Devonshire, England, 1751; d. London, England, 1836) was chosen to the Baptist Church in Carter Lane, London, in 1772 equally an interim pastor. After becoming head pastor, he stayed in that position for sixty-three years. He also edited the Baptist Annual Register (1790-1802). His main contribution to hymnody was his compiling of A Selection of Hymns from the All-time Authors, Intended As an Appendix to Dr. Watts' Psalms and Hymns (1787) and A Selection of Psalm and Hymn Tunes (1791). These publications became popular in both England and America. Nevertheless, later hymnologists accept often been frustrated past Rippon's work because he frequently did not point the authors of the hymns and often contradistinct the texts without acknowledging his changes.

Liturgical Use:
Many occasions of worship that focus on redemption and providence; as a hymn of comfort for those in difficult or tragic circumstances; baptism; profession of faith; prior to reading of Scripture.

=====================

How business firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord. Keen. [Perseverance of the Saints.] This hymn appeared in Rippon's Pick, 1787, No. 128, in seven stanzas of four lines, and entitled, "Exceeding bang-up and precious promises." In 1822 information technology was repeated in A. Fletcher'southward Baptist Collection of Hymns, No. 296, in 4 stanzas, the omitted stanzas existence ii., iv. & v. Two arrangements of the text were thus handed downwards to modern hymnals. In the 1835 edition of Fletcher'due south Drove, the total original text is restored. This is repeated in Spurgeon's Our Ain Hymn Book, 1866, No. 732, and other hymn-books.
The authorship of this hymn has been the subject area of much enquiry. We have (1) in modernistic editions of Rippon the name of "Kirkham"; (2) in Fletcher's 1835 edition as to a higher place, "Smashing"; (3) and in Spurgeon's Our Own Hymn Book, "George Keith."
ane. Rippon'southward original signature was "K—." In modern editions, which are not published past Dr. Rippon's representatives, the "K—" is extended into "Kirkham," but on what authority we cannot say.
ii. The ascription in Miller's Singers and Songs, 1869, p. 349, we find from the Sedgwick Manuscript, is based upon nothing merely the statement of an old woman whom Sedgwick met in an almshouse.
three. In Fletcher'southward Drove, 1822, the "K—" of Rippon is extended to "Kn," and in the edition of 1835 this is still further extended to "Keen," and then it remains. That this is more likely to exist right than either of the other two is gathered from the fact that Dr. Fletcher was assisted in his work by Thomas Walker, the editor of Dr. Rippon'southward Melody Book, to whom he particularly refers in these words:—"Peachy assistance has been obtained from Mr. Walker, Compiler of Dr. Rippon's Tune Book, and the Editor of the Companion to information technology, called Walker'southward Companion; and information technology is merely justice to admit that the principal selection of Hymns and the awarding of Tunes, has been effected past his extensive knowledge of sacred poetry, and long tried acquaintance with the science of sacred music." Preface, London, Nov. 1822.
In addition, in the Alphabetize of the "Names of such Authors of the Hymns as are known," the proper noun "Bully," with the abbreviation "Kn," is also given. Taking Mr. Walker'due south acquaintance with Dr. Rippon'southward work into business relationship, we are justified in concluding that the ascription to this hymn must exist that of an unknown person of the proper noun of Slap-up.
The following hymns bear the same signature as the above in Dr. Rippon'due south Pick, 1787.
ane. In songs of sublime adoration and praise (Distinguishing Grace). This is given in Spurgeon's Our Own Hymn Book, on Sedgwick'southward authority, as "George Keith, 1787."
2. The Bible is justly esteemed (Holy Scriptures).
From the fact that these two hymns have a common signature in Rippon's Selection, 1787, with "How firm a foundation," &c, and that the three appeared there for the first time, we also accredit them to Keen. Miller, in his Singers and Songs of the Church, 1869, bases his notation on George Keith on the unsupported word of D. Sedgwick equally higher up.
