All My Hope on
God is Founded
All
my hope on God is founded;
He
doth still my trust renew,
We
through 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.
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.
