My Hope is Built on Nothing Less

My hope is built on nothing less
than Jesus' blood and righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
but wholly lean on Jesus' name.

The pearly gate

The night is dark, the storm is loud;
Beneath its force the trees are bow'd;
Yet still the pearly gate I see,
Where angels stand to welcome me.
