I appreciate texts of hymns that point us to scripture. Here is one I was meditating on this morning. Many more verses would fit, I realize, but there are the few that came to mind today.
In Christ alone my hope is found,
[Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for(B) he who promised is faithful]
He is my light [1 John 1:5 in Him there is no darkness at all],
my strength [Psalm 62],
my song;
[Habakkuk 3:17-19 17 Though the fig tree should not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines, the produce of the olive fail and the fields yield no food, the flock be cut off from the fold and there be no herd in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord; I will take joy in the God of my salvation. God, the Lord, is my strength; he makes my feet like the deer's; he makes me tread on my high places.]
this Cornerstone [Ephesians 2:19 ff], this solid Ground,
firm through the fiercest drought and storm.
What heights of love [Ephesians 3:14-21], what depths of peace [Philippians 4:7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.]
when fears are stilled, when strivings cease [Psalm 46]!
My Comforter [John 14], my All in All,
here in the love of Christ I stand [Romans 5:8].
