All My Hope on God Is Founded

Author: Joachim Neander, 1650-1680; Robert Bridges, 1844-1930 Meter: 8.7.8.7.3.3.7 Appears in 69 hymnals Lyrics: 1 All my hope on God is founded who will all my trust renew, who through change and chance will guide me, only good and only true. God unknown, from thy throne call my heart to be thine own. 2 Mortal pride and earthly glory, sword and crown betray our trust; what with care and toil we fashion, tow'r and temple, fall to dust. But thy pow'r, hour by hour, is my temple and my tow'r. 3 Great thy goodness e'er enduring; deep thy wisdom, passing thought; splendor, light and life attend thee, beauty springing out of nought. Evermore from God's store newborn worlds rise and adore. 4 Still from earth to God eternal sacrifice of praise be done, high above all praises praising for the gift of God's own Son. Christ shall call one and all: you that follow shall not fall. Topics: Trust, Guidance Scripture: Psalm 61:1-4 Used With Tune: MICHAEL
