our hope is built on nothing less (B)
Our hope is built on nothing less
than Jesus’ blood and righteousness;
no merit of our own we claim,
but wholly trust in Jesus’ name.
When weary in this earthly race,
we rest on his unchanging grace;
in every wild and stormy gale
our anchor holds and will not fail.
On Christ, the solid rock, we stand -
all other ground is sinking sand,
all other ground is sinking sand.
His vow, his covenant and blood
are our defence against the flood;
when earthly hopes are swept away
he will uphold us on that day.
On Christ, the solid rock, we stand -
all other ground is sinking sand,
all other ground is sinking sand.
When the last trumpet’s voice shall sound,
O may we then in him be found!
Clothed in his righteousness alone,
faultless to stand before his throne.
On Christ, the solid rock, we stand -
all other ground is sinking sand,
On Christ, the solid rock, we stand -
all other ground is sinking sand,
On Christ, the solid rock, we stand -
all other ground is sinking sand,
… all other ground is sinking sand.
“The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.”
