The Solid Rock (My Hope Is Built)

Edward Mote, 1834 · 1 Corinthians 3:11

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.

Coro: 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.

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

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.

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

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

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