Christ, of All My Hopes the Ground (EN 2278)

EN 2278 Christ, of All My Hopes the Ground

Isa.28.16

Versi Version 1

1

Christ, of all my hopes the Ground;

Christ, the Spring of all my joy;

Still in Thee may I be found,

Still for Thee my powers employ,

Still for Thee my powers employ.

2

Let Thy love my heart inflame;

Keep Thy fear before my sight;

Be Thy praise my highest aim;

Be Thy smile my chief delight,

Be Thy smile my chief delight.

3

When affliction clouds my sky,

And the wintry tempests blow,

Let Thy mercy beaming eye

Sweetly cheer the night of woe.

Sweetly cheer the night of woe.

4

When new triumphs of Thy Name

Swell the raptured songs above,

May I feel a kindred flame,

Full of zeal, and full of love!

Full of zeal, and full of love!

5

Life’s best joy, to see Thy praise

Fly on wings of Gospel light,

Leading on millennial days,

Scattering all the shades of night!

Scattering all the shades of night!

6

Fountain of overflowing grace,

Freely from Thy fullness give;

Till I close my earthly race,

May I prove it “Christ to live!”

May I prove it “Christ to live!”

7

When, with wasting sickness worn,

Sinking to the grave I lie,

Or, by sudden anguish torn,

Startled nature dreads to die,

Startled nature dreads to die.

8

Jesus, my redeeming Lord,

Be Thou then in mercy near!

Let Thy smile of love afford

Full relief from all my fear,

Full relief from all my fear.

9

Firmly trusting in Thy blood,

Nothing shall my heart confound;

Safely I shall pass the flood,

Safely reach Emmanuel’s ground,

Safely reach Emmanuel’s ground.

10

When I touch the blessed shore,

Back the closing waves shall roll;

Death’s dark stream shall never more

Part from Thee my ravished soul,

Part from Thee my ravished soul.

11

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.”
