Author: Joachim Neander (1650-1680); Robert Bridges (1844-1930) Hymnal: Church Hymnary (4th ed.) #192b (2005) Meter: 8.7.8.7.3.3.7 Hymnal Title: Church Hymnary (4th ed.) Lyrics: 1 All my hope on God is founded,
all my trust he will renew;
safe through change and chance he guides me,
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 God's trust;
though with care and toil we build them,
tower and temple fall to dust.
But God's power,
hour by hour,
is my temple and my tower.
3 God's great goodness lasts for ever,
deep his wisdom, passing thought:
splendour, light, and life attend him,
beauty springing out of naught.
Evermore,
from his store
new-born worlds rise and adore.
4 Day by day the mighty Giver
showers gifts on us below;
his desire our souls delight in,
pleasure leads us where we go.
See love stand
at his hand,
joy awaits at his command!
5 Still from earth to God in heaven
sacrifice of praise be done,
high above all praises praising
for the gift of Christ his Son.
Hear Christ call
one and all:
those who follow shall not fall. Topics: Our Response to God in adoration and gratitude; Change; Hope; Providence Scripture: 1 Peter 1:5 Languages: English Tune Title: GROESWEN
