Hope of all hearts

"Hope of All Hearts" by Planetshakers

The world may fail, You will remain
In the midst of the trial, You will always be
I'll sing, our God never fails, our God never fails.

With hope and light, You reign over all
Though my heart may fail, You will always be
I'll sing, our God never fails, our God never fails.

Praise in the morning, praise in the evening
Praise when I'm laughing, praise when I'm grieving
There will be dancing, there will be singing
Upon injustice we will tell of our God

The hope of all hearts, the hope of all hearts is You
Your love never fails, Your love never fails.

In darkness, in trial, my soul shall sing
Of His mercy, and kindness, our offering of praise
Our God never fails, our God never fails.

O Love that wilt not let me go

"O Love that wilt not let me go" by George Mattheson, pub. 1882

O Love that wilt not let me go,
I rest my weary soul in thee;
I give thee back the life I owe,
That in thine ocean depths its flow
May richer, fuller be.

O light that foll’west all my way,
I yield my flick’ring torch to thee;
My heart restores its borrowed ray,
That in thy sunshine’s blaze its day
May brighter, fairer be.

O Joy that seekest me through pain,
I cannot close my heart to thee;
trace the rainbow through the rain,
And feel the promise is not vain,
That morn shall tearless be.

O Cross that liftest up my head,
I dare not ask to fly from thee;
I lay in dust life’s glory dead,
And from the ground there blossoms red
Life that shall endless be.
