Christ, of All My Hopes the Ground

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.”
  4. 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.
  5. 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.”
