39. 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,
All other ground is sinking sand.*
When darkness seems to veil his face,
I rest on his unchanging grace;
In ev’ry high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the vail.
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.
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.
