782. All My Hope on God Is Founded

1 All my hope on God is founded
who will all my trust renew,
who through change and chance will guide me,
only good and only true.
God unknown, from thy throne
call my heart to be thine own.

2 Mortal pride and earthly glory,
sword and crown betray our trust;
what with care and toil we fashion,
tow'r and temple, fall to dust.
But thy pow'r, hour by hour,
is my temple and my tow'r.

3 Great thy goodness e'er enduring;
deep thy wisdom, passing thought;
splendor, light and life attend thee,
beauty springing out of nought.
Evermore from God's store
newborn worlds rise and adore.

4 Still from earth to God eternal
sacrifice of praise be done,
high above all praises praising
for the gift of God's own Son.
Christ shall call one and all:
you that follow shall not fall.
