My Hope is Built on Nothing Less

Verse 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.

My Hope is Built on Nothing Less

Refrain

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

My Hope is Built on Nothing Less

Verse 2

When darkness seems to veils His face,
I rest on His unchanging grace.
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil.

My Hope is Built on Nothing Less

Refrain

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

My Hope is Built on Nothing Less

Verse 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.

My Hope is Built on Nothing Less

Refrain

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

My Hope is Built on Nothing Less

Verse 4

When He shall come with trumpet sound,
O may I then in Him be found!
Clad in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne.

My Hope is Built on Nothing Less

Refrain

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