My Hope is Built on Nothing Less

1    My hope is built on nothing less
    than Jesus' blood and righteousness;
    no merit of my own I claim,
    but wholly lean on Jesus' name.


Refrain
    On Christ, the solid rock, I stand;
    all other ground is sinking sand.


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.  Refrain


3    His oath, his covenant, his blood
    sustain me in the raging flood;
    when all supports are washed away,
    he then is all my hope and stay.  Refrain


4    When he shall come with trumpet sound,
    oh, may I then in him be found,
    clothed in his righteousness alone,
    redeemed to stand before the throne!  Refrain
