All my hope on God is founded

by Joachim Neander (1650–1680) · translated by Robert Bridges (1844–1930)

Representative text

As printed in The Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal (1985), no. 5.

Verse 1

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.

Verse 2

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 power, hour by hour, Is my temple and my tower.

Verse 3

God’s great goodness aye endureth Deep His wisdom, passing thought: Splendor, light, and life attend Him, Beauty springeth out of naught. Love doth stand at His hand; Joy doth wait on His command.

Verse 4

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.
