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.
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 and blood, Support me in the whelming flood; 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. [Refrain]
