Author: Edward Mote, 1797-1874 Hymnal: Lead Me, Guide Me (2nd ed.) #561 (2012) Meter: 8.8.8.8 with refrain 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.
Refrain:
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 ev'ry high and stormy gale
My anchor holds within the veil. [Refrain]
3 His oath, his covenant, his blood
Support me in the whelming floods;
When all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my hope and stay. [Refrain]
4 When he shall come with trumpet sound,
O may I then in him be found,
Dressed in his righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne.
