My Hope is Built
G D7
My hope is built on nothing less
Am D7 G
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness;
D7
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
Am D7 G
But wholly lean on Jesus’ name.
Chorus:
G C C
On Christ the solid Rock I stand;
G D7
All other ground is sinking sand.
G Em D7 G
All other ground is sinking sand.
When darkness veils His lovely face,
I rest on His unchanging grace.
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil.
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,
O may I then in Him be found!
Dressed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne.
