Christ, of All My Hopes the Ground

Author: Ralph Wardlaw Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 173 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 1:21 Lyrics: 1 Christ, of all my hopes the ground, Christ, the spring of all my joy, still in you may I be found, still for you my pow'rs employ, still for you my pow'rs employ. 2 Let your love my heart inflame; keep your fear before my sight; be your praise my highest aim; be your smile my chief delight, be your smile my chief delight. 3 Fountain of o'erflowing grace, freely from your 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 your 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."

Ye know the way to Jesus' throne, Source of my joys, and of your own. 4 That blissful interview, how sweet To fall transported at his feet! Rais'd in his arms to view his face, Thro' the full beamings of his grace! 5 As with a Seraph's voice to sing! To fly as on a cherub's wing! Performing, with unweary'd hands, The present Savior's high commands. 6 Yet with these prospects full in sight, We'll wait thy signal for the flight; For while thy service we pursue, We find a heaven in all we do.

Author: Muhlenberg Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 702 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 1:23 Lyrics: 1 I would not live alway; I ask not to stay Where storm after storm rises dark o'er the way; The few lurid mornings that dawn on us here Are enough for life's joys, full enough for its cheer. 2 I would not live alway; no--welcome the tomb! Since Jesus hath lain there, I dread not its gloom: There sweet be my rest till he bid me arise, To hail him in triumph descending the skies, 3 Who, who would live alway, away from his God-- Away from yon heaven, that blissful abode, Where rivers of pleasure flow bright o'er the plains, And the noontide of glory eternally reigns? 4 There saints of all ages in harmony meet, Their Saviour and brethren transported to greet; While anthems of rapture unceasingly roll, And the smile of the Lord is the feast of the soul.
