PD Words: Edward Mote, 1824; rev. John Rees, 1826, alt.
PD Music: William Bradbury, 1864
Arrangement: Keith Getty


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 vale

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

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
