My God, my everlasting hope

Verse 1

My God, my everlasting hope, I live upon Thy truth; Thine hands have held my childhood up, And strengthened all my youth.

Verse 2

My flesh was fashioned by Thy power, With all these limbs of mine; And from my mother's painful hour, I've been entirely Thine.

Verse 3

Still has my life new wonders seen Repeated every year; Behold, my days that yet remain, I trust them to Thy care.

Verse 4

Cast me not off when strength declines, When graying hairs arise; And round me let Thy glory shine, When'er Thy servant dies.

Verse 5

Then, in the hist'ry of my age, When men review my days, They'll read Thy love in every page, In every line Thy praise.
