Author: Rev. Edward Mote Hymnal: Hallowed Hymns, New and Old #181 (1908) First Line: My hope is built on nothing less Refrain First Line: On Christ, the Solid Rock, I stand Lyrics: 1 My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus' blood and righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus' name.
Chorus:
On Christ, the Solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand.
2 When darkness veils His lovely face,
I rest on His unchanging grace;
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the vail. [Chorus]
3 His oath, His covenant, His blood,
Support me in the whelming flood;
When all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my hope and stay. [Chorus]
4 When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh, may I then in Him be found;
Cloth'd in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne! [Chorus]
