Our Great Redeemer's Praise ‎#102

102. My Hope Is Built

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.

Refrain:
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. [Refrain]

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. [Refrain]

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! [Refrain]
