Author: Joachim Neander; Fred Pratt Green Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.7 Appears in 69 hymnals Scripture: 1 Timothy 6:17 Lyrics: 1 All my hope on God is founded, who does still my trust renew. Safe through change and chance God guides me, ever faithful, ever true.

But God's power, hour by hour, is my temple and my tower. 3 But in every time and season, out of love's abundant store, God sustains the whole creation fount of life forevermore. We who share earth and air count on God's unfailing care. Topics: God Beyond All Name and Form Providence and Care; God; God: Providence; Praise; Hope; Trust Used With Tune: NEANDER
