My Hope is Built on Nothing Less

Edward Mote (1834) • English

Primary Scripture: Deuteronomy 32:31

Verse 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.

Chorus

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

Verse 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.

Chorus

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

Verse 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.

Chorus

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

Verse 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.

Chorus

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