Alas, my treason, Jesus, has undone you; yes, I, Lord Jesus, I it was denied you; I crucified you. 3 Lo, the good shepherd for the sheep is offered; the slave is guilty, yet the Son has suffered; for our atonement, we nothing heeded, God interceded. 4 For me, kind Jesus, was your incarnation, your mortal sorrow, and your life's oblation, your death of anguish and your bitter passion, for my salvation. 5 Therefore, kind Jesus, since I cannot pay you, I do adore you, and will ever pray you, think on your pity and your love unswerving, not my deserving.

Source of grace and fount of blessing, let your light upon us shine; teach us how to love each other, lift us to the joy divine. 4 Mortals, join the mighty chorus which the morning stars began; God's own love is reigning o'er us, joining people hand in hand.

All My Hope on God Is Founded

Author: Joachim Neander; Robert Bridges Meter: 8.7.8.7.3.3.7 Appears in 75 hymnals Topics: Proper 21 Year C Lyrics: 1 All my hope on God is founded; who doth still my trust renew: I through change and chance am guided, only good and only true. God unknown, God alone calls my heart eternally home. 2 Human pride and earthly glory, sword and crown, betray our trust; what with care and toil is built up, tower and temple, fall to dust. But God's power, hour by hour, is my temple and my tower. 3 Daily doth the almighty giver bounteous gifts on us bestow. God's desire our soul delighteth, pleasure leads us where we go. Love doth stand hand in hand; joy doth wait on God's command. 4 God's great goodness eye endureth, deepest wisdom, passing thought: splendour, light and life attending, beauty springeth out of naught. Evermore from God's store new-born worlds rise and adore. Used With Tune: MICHAEL
