Author: Ralph Wardlaw Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #437 (1961) Meter: 7.7.7.7 with repeat Topics: Faith In Christ Lyrics: 1 Christ, of all my hopes the ground,
Christ, the spring of all my joy,
Still in thee may I be found,
Still for thee my pow'rs employ,
Still for thee my pow'rs employ.
2 Let thy love my heart inflame;
Keep thy fear before my sight;
Be thy praise my highest aim;
Be thy smile my chief delight,
Be thy smile my chief delight.
3 Fountain of o'erflowing grace,
Freely from thy fullness give;
Till I close my earthly race,
May I prove it "Christ to live,"
May I prove it "Christ to live."
4 Firmly trusting in thy blood,
Nothing shall my heart confound;
Safely I shall pass the flood,
Safely reach Immanuel's ground,
Safely reach Immanuel's ground.
5 Thus, O thus, an entrance give
To the land of cloudless sky;
Having known it "Christ to live,"
Let me know it "gain to die,"
Let me know it "gain to die."
Amen. Scripture: Philippians 1:21 Languages: English Tune Title: HENDON
