My Hope Is Built

My hope is built on nothing less

Than Jesus Christ my righteousness.

I dare not trust the sweetest frame

But wholly lean on Jesus’ name.

 

On Christ the Solid Rock I stand

All other ground is sinking sand.

On Christ the Solid Rock I stand.

 

When darkness veils His lovely face,

I rest on His unchanging grace.

When all around my soul gives way,

He then is all my hope and stay.

 

On Christ the Solid Rock I stand

All other ground is sinking sand.

On Christ the Solid Rock I stand.

 

His oath, His covenant, His blood;

Support me in the whelming flood.

Through every dark and stormy gale,

My anchor holds within the veil.

 

On Christ the Solid Rock I stand

All other ground is sinking sand.

On Christ the Solid Rock I stand.

 

When Christ shall come with trumpet sound,

to claim His bride, We’ll then be found,

Dressed in His righteousness alone,

Faultless to stand before the throne.

 

On Christ the Solid Rock I stand

All other ground is sinking sand.

On Christ the Solid Rock I stand.
