1 All my hope on God is founded,
who does still my trust renew.
Safe through change and chance God guides me,
ever faithful, ever true.
God unknown,
God alone,
seeks to claim my heart as home.
2 Human pride and earthly glory,
sword and crown betray our trust;
though with care and toil we build them,
tower and temple, fall to dust.
But God's power,
hour by hour,
is my temple and my tower.
3 But in every time and season,
out of love's abundant store,
God sustains the whole creation
found of life forevermore.
We who share
earth and air
count on God's unfailing care.
