1 My hope is built on nothing less
than Jesus’ blood and righteousness;
no merit of my own I claim,
but wholly trust in 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 every high and stormy gale,
my anchor holds and will not fail. [Refrain]
3 His oath, His covenant, His blood
support me in the rising flood;
when all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my hope and stay. [Refrain]
4 When the last trumpet's voice shall sound,
O may I then in Him be found,
clothed in His righteousness alone,
faultless to stand before the throne! [Refrain]
