MY HOPE IS BUILT ON NOTHING LESS.
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.
Refrain
On Christ the solid rock I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.
2 When darkness seems to veil His face,
I rest on His unchanging grace;
In every high and stormy gale
My anchor holds within the veil.
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.
4 When he shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh may I then in him be found.
Clothed in his righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before his throne.
