CITY / CITY OF GOD ETERNAL LIFE JESUS CHRIST: Union with OUR HOPE IN GOD RESURRECTION VICTORY Public Domain Lyrics Public Domain Music

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.

2. Let thy love my heart inflame;
keep thy fear be fore my sight;
be thy praise my highest aim;
be thy smile my chief delight.

3. Fountain of o'erflowing grace,
freely from thy fullness give;
as I run this earthly race,
may I prove it Christ to live.

4. Thus, O God, an entrance give
to thy city, drawing nigh;
having known it Christ to live,
let me know it gain to die.
