Christ, of All My Hopes the Ground
- Christ, of all my hopes the ground,
Christ, the spring of all my joy,
still in you may I be found,
still for you my pow’rs employ,
still for you my pow’rs employ. - Let your love my heart inflame;
keep your fear before my sight;
be your praise my highest aim;
be your smile my chief delight,
be your smile my chief delight. - Fountain of o’erflowing grace,
freely from your fullness give;
’til I close my earthly race,
may I prove it “Christ to live,”
may I prove it “Christ to live.” - Firmly trusting in your blood,
nothing shall my heart confound;
safely I shall pass the flood,
safely reach Immanuel’s ground,
safely reach Immanuel’s ground. - Thus, O thus, an entrance give
to the land of cloudless sky;
having known it “Christ to live,”
let me know it “gain to die,”
let me know it “gain to die.”
