My Hope is Built
Author: Edward Mote Appears in 1,086 hymnals Topics: Adversity First Line: My hope is built on nothing less Refrain First Line: On Christ the solid Rock I stand Lyrics: 1 My hope is built on nothing less

I rest on his unchanging grace.
In every high and stormy gale
my anchor holds within the veil. [Refrain]

support me in the whelming flood.
When all around my soul gives way
he then is all my hope and stay. [Refrain]

O may I then in him be found!
Dressed in his righteousness alone,
faultless to stand before the throne. [Refrain] Used With Tune: THE SOLID ROCK

Jesus, Lover of My Soul
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 3,220 hymnals Topics: Adversity Lyrics: 1 Jesus, lover of my soul,
let me to thy bosom fly,
while the nearer waters roll,
while the tempest still is high;
hide me, O my Savior, hide
till the storm of life is past;
safe into the haven guide;
O receive my soul at last!
2 Other refuge have I none;
hangs my helpless soul on thee;
leave, ah! leave me not alone,
still support and comfort me.
All my trust on thee is stayed,
all my help from thee I bring;
cover my defenseless head
with the shadow of thy wing.
3 Plenteous grace with thee is found,
grace to cover all my sin;
let the healing streams abound;
make and keep me pure within.
Thou of life the fountain art,
freely let me take of thee;
spring thou up within my heart,
rise to all eternity. Used With Tune: ABERYSTWYTH

to you who for refuge to Jesus have fled?
2 "Fear not, I am with you; O be not dismayed!
For I am your God and will still give you aid;
I'll strengthen and help you, and cause you to stand,
upheld by my righteous omnipotent hand.
3 "When through the deep waters I call you to go,
the rivers of sorrow shall not overflow;
for I will be with you, your troubles to bless,
and sanctify to you your deepest distress.
4 "When through fiery trials your pathway shall lie,
my grace, all-sufficient, shall be your supply:
the flame shall not hurt you, I only design
your dross to consume, and your gold to refine.
5 "The soul that on Jesus has leaned for repose
I will not -- I will not desert to his foes;
that soul, though all hell should endeavour to shake,
I'll never -- no, never -- no, never forsake!" Used With Tune: ST DENIO Text Sources: Rippon's A Selection of Hymns, 1787

sweetest name I know,

stirred the slumbering chords again. [Refrain]

resting 'neath his sheltering wing,
always looking on his smiling face--
that is why I shout and sing. [Refrain]

trials fall across the way,
though sometimes the path seems rough and steep,
see his footprints all the way. [Refrain]
5 Soon he's coming back to welcome me
far beyond the starry sky;
I shall wing my flight to worlds unknown;
I shall reign with him on high. [Refrain] Used With Tune: SWEETEST NAME

in trouble and in joy,
the praises of my God shall still
my heart and tongue employ.

till all that are distressed,
when learning this, will comfort take
and calm their griefs to rest.
3 O magnify the Lord with me,
with me exalt his name;
when in distress to him I called
he to my rescue came.
4 The hosts of God encamp around
the dwellings of the just;
deliverance he affords for all
who in his mercy trust.
5 O make but trial of his love;
experience will decide
how blest are they, and only they,
who in his truth confide.
6 Fear him, you saints, and you will then
have nothing else to fear;
if in his service you delight,
your wants shall be his care.
