All my hope on God is founded

Author: J. Neander (1650-1680); R. Bridges (1844-1930) Meter: 8.7.8.7.3.3.7 Appears in 72 hymnals Topics: The Promise of Redemption Moses Lyrics: 1 All my hope on God is founded, all my trust he shall renew; he, my guide through changing order, only good and only true. God unknown, he alone, calls my heart to be his own. 2 Human pride and earthly glory, sword and crown betray his trust; what with care and toil we fashion, tower and temple, fall to dust; but God's power hour by hour, is my temple and my tower. 3 Day by day our mighty giver grants to us his gifts of love; in his will our souls find pleasure, leading to our home above: Love shall stand at his hand, joy shall wait for 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: Hear Christ's call one and all — we who follow shall not fall.

Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken

Author: John Newton Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,318 hymnals Topics: God's Promise of Redemption Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of thee are spoken, Zion, city of our God; He, whose word cannot be broken, formed thee for his own abode. On the Rock of Ages founded, what can shake thy sure repose? With salvation's walls surrounded, thou may'st smile at all thy foes. 2 See, the streams of living waters, springing from eternal love, well supply thy sons and daughters and all fear of want remove. Who can faint while such a river ever flows their thirst to assuage? Grace, which like the Lord, the giver, never fails from age to age. 3 Round each habitation hovering, see the cloud and fire appear for a glory and a covering, showing that the Lord is near. Thus deriving from their banner light by night and shade by day, safe they feed upon the manna which God gives them when they pray. 4 Savior, if of Zion's city I through grace a member am, let the world deride or pity, I will glory in thy name. Fading are the world's best pleasures, all its boasted pomp and show; solid joys and lasting treasures none but Zion's children know. Scripture: Psalm 87 Used With Tune: AUSTRIAN HYMN

Now with Joyful Exultation

Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 15 hymnals Topics: God's Promise of Redemption Lyrics: 1 Now with joyful exultation let us sing to God our praise; to the Rock of our salvation loud hosannas let us raise. Thankful tribute gladly bringing, let us come before him now, and, with psalms his praises singing, joyful in his presence bow. 2 For how great a God, and glorious, is the LORD of whom we sing; over idol gods victorious, great is he, our God and King. In his hand are earth's deep places, also his are all the hills; his the sea whose bounds he traces, his the land his bounty fills. 3 To the LORD, such might revealing, let us come with reverence meet, and, before our Maker kneeling, let us worship at his feet. He is our own God who leads us, we the people of his care; with a shepherd's hand he feeds us as his flock in pastures fair. 4 While he offers peace and pardon let us hear his voice today, lest, if we our hearts should harden, we should perish in the way-- lest to us, so unbelieving, he in judgment should declare: "You, so long my Spirit grieving, never in my rest will share."
