The New Praiseworthy ‎#266

266. The Solid Rock

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 sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand.

2 When darkness veils His lovely face
I rest on His unchanging grace;
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the vail.
On Christ, the Solid Rock I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand.

3 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.
On Christ, the Solid Rock I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand.

4 When He shall come with trumpet sound
O may I then in Him be found,
Drest in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne.
On Christ, the Solid Rock I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand.
