The Solid Rock

Words: Edward Mote, John Rees · Music: William Bradbury · 1824

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.
