5   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 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.
Love doth stand at His hand;
Joy doth wait on His command.

[4]
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.
