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 Mortal pride and earthly glory,
Sword and crown betray our trust;
Though with care and toil we build them,
Tow'r and temple fall to dust.
But God's pow'r,
Hour by hour,
Is my temple and my tow'r.
3 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.
4 Still from earth 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.
