MY HOPE IS BUILT ON NOTHING LESS

Words: Edward Mote, 1834
Music: Davide Marney, 2006

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.

(Chorus:)  
On Christ, the solid Rock I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.
On Christ, the solid Rock I stand,
All other ground is sinking sand.

When darkness veils his lovely face,
I rest on hi unchanging grace;
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil.

(Chorus)

His oath, his covenant, his glood
Support me in the whelming flood;
When all around my soul gives way
He then is all my hope and stay.

(Chorus)

When he shall come with trumpet sound,
O may I then in him be found;
Dressed in his righteousness along,
Faultless to stand before the throne.

(Chorus)
