Hymn
My Hope is Built on Nothing Less
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.
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.
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.
When judgment's trump at last shall sound,
O may I then in Him be found;
Dressed in His righteousness alone,
I faultless stand before the throne.
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.
Amen.
