All My Hope on God Is Founded

Author: Robert Seymour Bridges Hymnal: RITL1985 #156 (1985) Meter: 8.7.8.7.3.3.7 Scripture: Genesis 11:1 Lyrics: 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. 2 Human pride and earthly glory, sword and crown betray his trust. What with care and toil we fashion, tower and temple, fall to dust. But God's power, hour by hour, is my temple and my tower. 3 God's great goodness aye endureth; deep his wisdom, passing thought. Splendor, light, and life attend him, beauty springeth out of nought. Evermore from his store newborn worlds rise and adore. 4 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. 5 Still from earth 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. Languages: English Tune Title: MEINE HOFFNUNG

This is the Saviour," thus they say; "this is his noble triumph day. Again shall ye behold him so as ye today have seen him go: in glorious pomp ascending high up to the portals of the sky." 3 O grant us thitherward to tend, and with unwearied hearts ascend toward thy kingdom's throne, where thou, as is our faith, art seated now.

New Every Morning Is the Love

Author: John Keble Hymnal: RITL1985 #73 (1985) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Genesis 22:8 Lyrics: 1 New ev'ry morning is the love our waking and uprising prove; through sleep and darkness safely brought, restored to life, and pow'r, and thought. 2 New mercies each returning day hover around us while we pray; new perils past, new sins forgiv'n, new thoughts of God, new hopes of heav'n. 3 If on our daily course our mind be set to hallow all we find, new treasures still of countless price God will provide for sacrifice. 4 The trivial round, the common task will furnish all we need or ask: room to deny ourselves, a road to bring us daily nearer God. 5 Seek we no more; content with these, let present rapture, comfort, ease as God shall bid them, come and go-- the secret, this, of rest below. 6 Only, O Lord, in thy dear love fit us for perfect rest above, and help us this and every day to live more nearly as we pray.

Thy Mansion Is the Christian's Heart

Author: William Cowper Hymnal: RITL1985 #505 (1985) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Genesis 28:10-12 Lyrics: 1 Thy mansion is the Christian’s heart; let all but thoughts of thee depart! A Lord, thy dwelling place prepare; what peace shall reign when thou art there! 2 Prayer makes the darkened cloud withdraw; prayer climbs the ladder Jacob saw, gives exercise to faith and love, bring ev'ry blessing from above. 3 Restaining prayer, we cease to fight; prayer keeps the Christian's armor bright; and Satan trembles when he sees the weakest saint upon his knees. 4 When Moses stood with arms spread wide, success was found on Israel's side; but when through weariness they failed, that moment Amalek prevailed. 5 O Lord, increase our faith and love, that we may all thy goodness prove, and gain from thy exhaustless store the fruits of prayer forevermore.
