Text: | My hope is built on nothing less |
Author: | Rev. Edward Mote |
Tune: | [My hope is built on nothing less ] |
Composer: | Sir Joseph Barnby |
1 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.
On Christ, the solid rock I stand;
All other ground is shifting sand.
2 When clouds and darkness veil His face,
I rest on His unchanging grace;
In every high and stormy gale
My anchor holds within the veil.
On Christ, the solid rock I stand;
All other ground is shifting sand.
3 His word, His covenant, His blood,
Support me in the 'whelming flood;
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 shifting sand.
4 When He shall come, with trumpet sound,
Oh, may I then in Him be found!
Dressed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne.
On Christ, the solid rock I stand;
All other ground is shifting sand.
Amen.
