All My Hope

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.
   


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.
   


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.
   


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.
   


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.
