Hymn 437
Joachim Neander; tr. Robert Bridges; adapt. Fenella Bennetts, alt., words
Herbert Howells, music
All my hope on God is founded;
Day by day my trust is new.
Through the trials of life He guides me,
Only good and only true.
God alone, dearly known,
Calls my heart to be His own.
Earthly treasures, pride and glory,
Human power and worldly trust,
Though with care and toil are builded,
In the end will fall to dust.
But God’s power, hour by hour,
Is my temple and my tower.
Daily does th’almighty Giver
Bounteous gifts on us bestow.
Love’s desire our soul delighteth,
Joy attends us where we go.
Blessings stand at God’s hand,
Healing flows at Love’s command.
Now from man to God eternal
Endless thanks and praise be sung.
Hearts made new are anthems raising
Through the love of Christ, His Son.
Hear God’s call, one and all,
We who follow shall not fall.

Hymn 442
Irish, ca. 8th c.; tr. Mary E. Byrne; versed Eleanor H. Hull, alt., words
Irish melody, Joyce’s Old Irish Folk Music and Songs, 1909; harm. Jack Schrader, music
Be Thou my vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art.
Thou my best thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.
Be Thou my wisdom, and Thou my true Word;
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;
Thou my great Father and I Thy true son,
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.
Riches I heed not, nor earth’s empty praise,
Thou mine inheritance, now and always;
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,
High King of heaven, my treasure Thou art.
High King of heaven, my victory won,
May I reach heaven’s joys, O bright heaven’s sun!
Heart of my own heart whatever befall,
Still be my vision, O Ruler of all.

Hymn 249
Vivian Burnett, words
Arthur H. Mann, music
O, when we see God’s mercy
Widespread in every place
And know how flows the fountain
Of His unbounded grace,
Can we withhold a tribute,
Forbear a psalm to raise,
Or leave unsung one blessing,
In this our hymn of praise?
Our gratitude is riches,
Complaint is poverty,
Our trials bloom in blessings,
They test our constancy.
O, life from joy is minted,
An everlasting gold,
True gladness is the treasure
That grateful hearts will hold.
