Than Jesus' blood and righteousness;
No merit of my own I claim,
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.
2 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. [Refrain]
3 His oath, His covenant, His blood
Support me in the raging flood;
When all supports are washed away,
He then is all my hope and stay. [Refrain]
4 When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh, may I then in Him be found,
Clothed in His righteousness alone,
Redeemed to stand before the throne! [Refrain] Topics: Assurance; Assurance; Faithfulness; Hope; Salvation; Sin Languages: English Tune Title: SOLID ROCK
