All My Hope On God Is Founded

Verse 1

All my hope on God is founded; He doth still my trust renew, Me through change and chance He guideth, Only good and only true. God unknown, He alone Calls my heart to be His own.

Verse 2

Pride of man and earthly glory, Sword and crown betray His trust; What with care and toil He buildeth, Tower and temple fall to dust. But God's power, Hour by hour, Is my temple and my tower.

Verse 3

God's great goodness aye endureth, Deep His wisdom, passing thought: Splendor, light and life attend Him, Beauty springeth out of naught. Evermore From his store Newborn worlds rise and adore.

Verse 4

Daily doth the almighty Giver Bounteous gifts on us bestow; His desire our soul delighteth, Pleasure leads us where we go. Love doth stand At his hand; Joy doth wait on his command.

Verse 5

Still from man to God eternal Sacrifice of praise be done, High above all praises praising For the gift of Christ, His Son. Christ doth call One and all: Ye who follow shall not fall.
