'My hope is built on nothing less' (hymn) written by Edward Mote

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.


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


His oath, His covenant and blood,

Support me in this sinking flood;

When every earthly prop gives way,

He then is all my hope and stay.


Refrain.


When I shall launch to worlds unseen,

O may I then be found in Him!

Dressed in His righteousness alone,

Faultless to stand before the throne.


Refrain
