My Hope Is Built on Nothing Less

Author: Edward Mote, 1797-1874 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 1,118 hymnals Topics: Justification; Justification Lyrics: 1 My hope is built on nothing less Than Jesus' blood and righteousness; I dare to make no other 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 and blood Support me in the raging flood; When ev'ry earthly prop gives way, 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, Faultless to stand before his throne. On Christ, the solid rock, I stand; All other ground is sinking sand. Used With Tune: MAGDALEN

How Helpless Guilty Nature Lies

Author: Anne Steele Appears in 233 hymnals Topics: The Christian Life Faith and Justification Lyrics: 1 How helpless guilty nature lies, Unconscious of its load! The heart unchanged can never rise To happiness and God. 2 Can aught beneath a power divine The stubborn will subdue? ’Tis Thine, Almighty Savior, Thine To form the heart anew. 3 ’Tis Thine the passions to recall, And upwards bid them rise; And make the scales of error fall From reason’s darkened eyes. 4 To chase the shades of death away, And bid the sinner live, A beam of heaven, a vital ray ’Tis Thine alone to give. 5 O change these wretched hearts of ours, And give them life divine! Then shall our passions and our powers, Almighty Lord, be Thine. Used With Tune: AZMON

Author: Fawcett Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 81 hymnals Topics: The Christian System Justification By Faith Lyrics: 1 Sinners, this solemn truth regard-- Hear, all ye sons of men! For Christ, the Saviour, hath declared Ye must be born again. 2 Whate'er might be your birth or blood, The sinner's boast is vain: Thus saith the glorious Son of God, Ye must be born again. 3 Our nature's totally depraved, The heart a sink of sin; Without a change we can't be saved, Ye must be born again. 4 That which is born of flesh is flesh, And flesh it will remain: Then marvel not that Jesus saith, Ye must be born again. 5 Spirit of life, thy grace impart, And breathe on sinners slain; Bear witness, Lord, with every heart, That we are born again. 6 Dear Saviour, we will now begin To trust and love thy word; And by forsaking every sin, Prove we are born of God.
