Hymn 25

My hope is built on nothing less

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

In ev’ry rough and stormy gale
My anchor holds within the vale
When all around my soul gives way
He then is all my hope and stay
Not earth, nor hell, my soul can move;
I rest upon unchanging love
I trust his righteous character
His counsel, promise, and his pow’r

Verse 2

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
