All My Hope on God Is Founded

All my hope on God is found­ed:

He doth still my trust re­new.

Me thro’ change and chance He guid­eth

Only good and on­ly true.

God un­known

He alone

Calls my heart to be His own.

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.

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.

Daily doth th’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.

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.
