522 - My Hope Is Built on Nothing Less
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.
3
His
oath, His covenant, His blood
Supports
me in the whelming flood.
When
all around my soul gives way,
He
then is all my hope and stay.
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.
