522. My Hope Is Built on Nothing Less

Verse 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 1

On Christ the solid rock I stand;

All other ground is sinking sand,

All other ground is sinking sand.

Verse 2

When Darkness seems to veil His face,

I rest on his unchanging grace.

In every high and stormy gale,

My anchor holds within the veil.

Chorus 3

On Christ the solid rock I stand;

All other ground is sinking sand,

All other ground is sinking sand.

Verse 4

His oath, his covenant, his blood

Supports me in the whelming flood.

When all around my soul gives way,

He then is all my hope and stay.

Chorus 5

On Christ the solid rock I stand;

All other ground is sinking sand,

All other ground is sinking sand.

Verse 6

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.

Chorus 7

On Christ the solid rock I stand;

All other ground is sinking sand,

All other ground is sinking sand.
