On Christ the Solid Rock I Stand

Hymn lyrics by Edward Mote,
Music by William B. Bradbury

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 ev’ry high and stormy gale,

My anchor holds within the veil.

Chorus

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

Verse 4

When He shall come with trumpet sound,

Oh may I then in Him be found.

Dressed in His righteousness alone,

Faultless to stand before the throne.

Chorus
