English

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.

Dãda kple xexeame dzidzɔ Yi, fiakuku trɔa'mewo Nu siwo katã woƒã la Trɔ zu dzodzro egbe sia 'Ƒe ɣesiaɣi ŋusẽ Nye nye xɔ kple mɔ sesẽ.

English

Pride of man and earthly glory, Sword and crown betray his trust; What with care and toil he buildeth, Tower and temple fall to dust. But God’s power, hour by hour, Is my temple and my tower.

English

God’s great goodness aye endureth, Deep His wisdom, passing thought: Splendor, light, and life attend Him, Beauty springeth out of naught. Love doth stand at His hand; Joy doth wait on His command.

Still from man 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.
