My Hope is Built on Nothing Less

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.

On Christ the solid rock, I stand;

All other ground is sinking sand, 

All other ground is sinking sand

When darkness veils his lovely face, I rest on His unchanging grace;

In every high and stormy gale my anchor holds within the veil.

On Christ the solid rock, I stand;

All other ground is sinking sand,

All other ground is sinking sand.

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.

On Christ the solid rock, I stand;

All other ground is sinking sand,

All other ground is sinking sand.

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.

On Christ the solid rock, I stand:

All other ground is sinking sand,

All other ground is sinking sand.
