My Hope Is Built on Nothing Less
Author: Edward Mote Meter: 8.8.8.8 with refrain Appears in 1,086 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 7:24-28 Refrain First Line: On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand Lyrics: 1 My hope is built on nothing less

But wholly lean on Jesus’ name.
Refrain:
On Christ, the solid Rock I stand;

I rest on His unchanging grace;
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil. (Refrain)

Support me in the whelming flood;
When all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my hope and stay. (Refrain)

Oh may I then in Him be found,
Dressed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne. (Refrain)

If Thou But Trust in God to Guide Thee
Author: Georg Neumark; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Appears in 179 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 7:24 Lyrics: 1 If thou but trust in God to guide thee
and hope in him through all thy ways,
he'll give thee strength, whate'er betide thee,
and bear thee through the evil days;
who trusts in God's unchanging love
builds on the rock that nought can move.
2 Only be still, and wait his leisure
in cheerful hope, with heart content
to take whate'er thy Father's pleasure
and all-discerning love hath sent;
nor doubt our inmost wants are known
to him who chose us for his own.
3 Sing, pray, and keep his ways unswerving,
so do thine own part faithfully,
and trust his Word; though undeserving.
Thou yet shalt find it true for thee.
God never yet forsook at need
the soul that trusted him indeed.

Author: John Newton Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,292 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 7:24-25 Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of thee are spoken,
Zion, city of our God.
God, whose word cannot be broken,
formed thee for a blest abode.
On the rock of ages founded,
what can shake thy sure repose?
With salvation's walls surrounded,
thou may'st smile at all thy foes.
2 Round each habitation hovering,
see the cloud and fire appear
for a glory and a covering,
showing that the Lord is near.
Thus deriving from their banner
light by night and shade by day,
safe they feed upon the manna
which God gives them when they pray.
3 See, the streams of living waters,
springing from eternal love,
well supply thy sons and daughters
and all fear of want remove.
Who can faint while such a river
ever flows, their thirst to assuage?
Grace, so like the Lord the giver,
never fails from age to age.

Beware, the Saviour gave command
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 7:15-23 Lyrics: 1 Beware, the Saviour gave command,
And watch ye unto pray'r;
That ye be wise and understand!
The teachers ye may hear.
2 Our Lord declares that such shall come,
Who show a pious face;
That they would come, and would presume,
To take the Saviour's place.
3 They would appear like lambs without,
But rav'nous Wolves within!
They teach and pray, and act devout:
Yet all they do is sin.
4 Their doctrine is deceit and fraud,
And of a dang'rous kind;
They do not teach the truth of God,
But please the carnal mind.
5 The truth in Jesus they deny,
It answers not their end;
Their pride and lusts to crucify
Is not what they intend.
6 As grapes on thorns have never grown,
Or figs from thistles shot;
Just so false doctrines ne'er was known,
Produce the spirits fruit.
7 The good or evil tree we know,
When of its fruit we taste;
Thus we may prove the doctrine too,
To see its fruit at last.
8 Not ev'ry one that sayeth Lord,
Shall enter into heav'n--
But they who love and keep the word,
To them it shall be giv'n.
