Hymn 448
All my hope on God is founded
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 and hour,
Is my temple and my tower.
3. God’s great goodness aye endureth,
Deep His wisdom passing thought
Splendour, light, and life attend Him,
Beauty springeth out of nought,
Evermore,
From His store,
New-born 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
