My hope is built on nothing less
|
|
| 1. | My hope is built on nothing less |
| | Than Jesus Christ, My 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 veil. |
| 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. |
| 4. | When He shall come with trumpet sound, |
| | Oh, may I then in Him be found; |
| | In Him, my righteousness, alone |
| | Faultless to stand before the throne. |
