Author: Edward Mote, 1797-1874 Hymnal: Hymns for a Pilgrim People #356 (2007) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Topics: Hope First Line: My hope is built on nothing less Lyrics: 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.
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.
On Christ, the solid rock, I stand,
All other ground is sinking sand.
3 His oath, His covenant, His blood
Support me in the raging flood;
When all supports are washed away,
He then is all my hope and stay.
On Christ, the solid rock, I stand,
All other ground is sinking sand.
4 When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh, may I then in Him be found,
Clothed in His righteousness alone,
Redeemed to stand before the throne!
On Christ, the solid rock, I stand,
All other ground is sinking sand. Languages: English Tune Title: MELITA
