my hope is built

my hope is built on nothing less

than jesus' blood and righteousness

i dare not trust the sweetest frame

but wholly lean in jesus' name

when darkness seems

to hide his face

i rest on his unchanging grace

in every high and stormy gale

my anchor holds within the veil

on christ the solid rock i stand

all other ground is sinking sand

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

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

i stand on the rock of ages
