My hope is built on nothing less

My hope is built on nothing less

Than Jesus Christ

my 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.

When darkness veils His lovely face

I rest on His unchanging grace;

In every high and stormy gale

My anchor holds within the veil.

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.

When He shall come with trumpet sound

Oh

may I then in Him be found;

In Him

my righteousness

alone

Faultless to stand before the throne.
