This brass quintet arrangement by Joseph Pugh of How Firm a Foundation is a Christian hymn, published in 1787 by John Rippon in A Selection of Hymns from the Best Authors, Intended to be an Appendix to Dr. Watts's Psalms and Hymns, known as Rippon's Selection. It is attributed only to K, which probably refers to Robert Keen(e), precentor at Rippon's church,[1] though other names suggested include Richard or John Keene, Kirkham,John Keith or Words by G. Keith and Music by J. Reading as cited in the 1884 publication of Asa Hull's Jewels of Praise. [2] It is most often sung to the tune Foundation (or Protection) which first appeared in A Compilation of Genuine Church Music (1832) edited by Joseph Funk, though the original tune may be Keen(e)'s Geard
