424. My Hope Is Built on Nothing Less

1 My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus' blood and righteousness:
No merit of my own I claim,
But wholly lean on Jesus' Name.

Refrain:
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand,
All other ground is sinking sand.

2 When darkness veils His lovely face,
I rest on His unchanging grace;
In ev'ry high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil. [Refrain]

3 His oath, His covenant and blood,
Support me in the sinking flood;
When every earthly prop gives way,
He then is all my hope and stay. [Refrain]

4 When I shall launch to worlds unseen,
O may I then be found in Him!
Dressed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne. [Refrain]

Amen.
