Verse 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

Verse 2
Pride of man and earthly glory
Sword and crown betray His trust
All that human toil can fashion
Tower and temple fall to dust
But God's power, hour by hour
is my temple and my tower

Verse 3
God's great goodness reigns eternal
deep in wisdom, passing thought;
light and life are all God's splendour
bringin beauty out of naught.
Evermore from God's store
newborn worlds rise and adore.

Verse 4
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

Verse 5
Still from man 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
