| Tune: | SOLID ROCK |
| Composer: | William B. Bradbury |
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 seems to hide His face,
I rest on His unchanging grace;
in every high and stormy gale,
my anchor holds within the veil. [Refrain]
3 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. [Refrain]
4 When He shall come with trumpet sound,
oh, may I then in Him be found,
dressed in Hs righteousness alone,
faultless to stand before the throne. [Refrain]
