"All My Hope on God is Founded" is a well-known hymn, originally German, which was translated into English in 1899 and which established itself in the latter part of the twentieth century.
The original words "Meine Hoffnung stehet feste" were written around 1680 by Joachim Neander.
In 1930, Dr Thomas Percival (TP) Fielden, director of music at Charterhouse School, sent Bridges' text to a friend, composer Herbert Howells, requesting Howells compose a new setting of the hymn for use at the school.
The hymn's popularity increased in consequence as it became more widely known, though its use remained largely confined to public (independent) school use in Britain for the next thirty years or so.
The hymn was sung by the Royal Family at the Committal Service for HM Queen Elizabeth II at Saint George's Chapel on September 19, 2022.
