Author: Ed. Mote Appears in 1,096 hymnals Lyrics: 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.
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 sinking sand.
3 His oath, His covenant, and 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.
4 When He shall come, with trumpet sound,
O may I then in Him be found!
Clothed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne.
On Christ, the solid rock, I stand:
All other ground is sinking sand.
