My hope is built on
nothing less |

My
hope is built on nothing less
Than
Jesus’ blood and righteousness;
I
dare not trust my sweetest frame,
But
wholly lean on Jesus’ Name.
On Christ the solid rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.
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:
On Christ the solid rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.
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:
On Christ the solid rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.
