Text: | My hope is built on nothing less |
Author: | Edward Mote |
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:
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand;
All other ground is sinking sand.
2 When darkness seems to vail 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;
All other ground is sinking sand.
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;
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand;
All other ground is sinking sand.
Amen.
