THE SOLID ROCK (MY HOPE IS BUILT ON NOTHING LESS)

Author: Edward Mote 1834
Composer: William B. Bradbury 1863

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

      Refrain
      On Christ the solid rock I stand
      All other ground is sinking sand
      All other ground is sinking sand

When darkness seems to hide His face
I rest on His unchanging grace
In every high and stormy gale
My anchor holds within the veil

His oath, 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

When He shall come with trumpet sound
O may I then in Him be found
Dressed in His righteousness alone
Faultless to stand before the throne
