who by this sign did conquer grief and pain,
we would be faithful to your gospel glorious.

All my hope on God is founded
Author: Robert Bridges, 1844-1930; Joachim Neander, 1650-1680 Hymnal: Complete Anglican Hymns Old and New #19 (2000) Meter: 8.7.8.7.3.3.7 Topics: Year C Proper 23 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 he buildeth,
tow'r and temple, fall to dust.
But God's power, hour by hour,
is my temple and my towe'r.
3 God's great goodness aye endureth,
deep his wisdom, passing thought:
splendour, light and life attend him,
beauty springeth out of naught.
Evermore, from his store
new-born 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 Christ his Son.
Christ doth call one and all:
ye who follow shall not fall. Scripture: 1 Peter 1:21 Languages: English Tune Title: MICHAEL
All my hope on God is founded

chase the bleak night of sin away;
shed o'er the world your holy light. Tune Title: MARYTON

source of purest pleasure,
truest friend to me;
long my heart hath panted,
till it well-nigh fainted,
thirsting after thee.
Thine I am, O spotless Lamb,
I will suffer naught to hide thee,
ask for naught beside thee.
2 In thine arms I rest me;
foes who would molest me
cannot reach me here.
Though the earth be shaking,
every heart be quaking,
God dispels our fear;
sin and hell in conflict fell
with their heaviest storms assail us:
Jesus will not fail us.
3 Hence, all thoughts of sadness!
For the Lord of gladness,
Jesus, enters in:
those who love the Father,
though the storms may gather,
still have peace within;
yea, whate'er we here must bear,
still in thee lies purest pleasure,
Jesus, priceless treasure! Languages: English Tune Title: JESU, MEINE FREUDE

Jesus, Lover of My Soul
Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: Voices United #669 (1996) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Topics: Proper 23 Year B Lyrics: 1 Jesus, lover of my soul,
let me to thy bosom fly,
while the nearer waters roll,
while the tempest still is high.
Hide me, O my Saviour, hide,
till the storm of life is past;
safe into the haven guide;
O receive my soul at last.
2 Other refuge have I none;
hangs my helpless soul on thee;
leave, ah! leave me not alone;
still support and comfort me.
All my trust on thee is stayed,
all my help from thee I bring;
cover my defenseless head
with the shadow of thy wing.
3 Thou, O Christ, art all I want;
more than all in thee I find.
Raise the fallen, cheer the faint,
heal the sick and lead the blind.
Just and holy is thy name,
I am all unrighteousness;
false and full of sin I am,
thou art full of truth and grace.
4 Plenteous grace with thee is found,
grace to cover all my sin;
let the healing streams abound;
make and keep me pure within.
Thou of life the fountain art,
freely let me take of thee;
spring thou up within my heart;
rise to all eternity. Tune Title: ABERYSTWYTH
Jesus, Lover of My Soul

O God, our help in ages past

our hope for years to come,
our shelter from the stormy blast,
and our eternal home.

thy saints have dwelt secure;
sufficient is thine arm alone,
and our defence is sure.

or earth received her frame,
from everlasting thou art God,
to endless years the same.

are like an evening gone;
short as the watch that ends the night
before the rising sun.

will bear us all away;
we fade and vanish, as a dream
dies at the op'ning day.
6 Our God, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come,
be thou our guard while troubles last,
and our eternal home. Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:7-8 Languages: English Tune Title: ST ANNE

has broken every barrier down;

cumbered with a load of care?

and we'll find new courage there. Languages: English Tune Title: FRIENDSHIP

the mystery of his love.

though shame and death to him,
his people's hope, his people's wealth,
their everlasting theme. Languages: English Tune Title: ST MAGNUS
