Author: E. Mohr Hymnal: Concordia #131 (1918) Hymnal Title: Concordia First Line: My hope is built on nothing less Refrain First Line: On Christ the solid rock I stand Lyrics: 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:
On Christ, the solid rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand.
2 When darkness seems to veil His face,
I rest on His unchanging grace;
In ev'ry high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil;
On Christ, the solid rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand.
3 His oath, His covenant, and blood,
Support me in the whelming flood:
When all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my hope and stay:
On Christ, the solid rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand.
