The Solid Rock
Edward Mote, c.1834

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.

REFRAIN:
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 every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil.

REFRAIN:

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.

REFRAIN:

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.
