All my hope on God

• • All my hope on God is founded; 
  • he doth still my trust renew, 
  • me through change and chance he guideth, 
  • only good and only true. 
  • God unknown, he alone 
  • calls my heart to be his own. 
  • 
    
  • Pride of man and earthly glory, 
  • sword and crown betray his trust; 
  • what with care and toil he buildeth, 
  • tower and temple, fall to dust. 
  • But God's pow'r, hour by hour, 
  • is my temple and my tower. 
  • 
    
  • God's great goodness aye endureth, 
  • deep his wisdom, passing thought: 
  • splendour, life, and light attend him, 
  • beauty springeth out of naught. 
  • Evermore from his store 
  • new-born worlds rise and adore. 
  • 
    
  • Daily doth th'almighty giver 
  • bounteous gifts on us bestow; 
  • his desire our soul delighteth, 
  • pleasure leads us where we go. 
  • Love doth stand at his hand; 
  • joy doth wait on his command. 
  • 
    
  • Still from man to God eternal 
  • sacrifice of praise be done, 
  • high above all praises praising 
  • for the gift of Christ his Son. 
  • Christ doth call one and all: 
  • ye who follow shall not fall
