My hope is built on nothing less
[Modernised Version]1 My hope is built on nothing less
than Jesus' blood and righteousness;
no merit of my own I claim,
but wholly trust in Jesus' name.
On Christ, the solid rock, I stand,
all other ground is sinking sand.
2 When weary in this earthly race,
I rest on his unchanging grace;
in every wild and stormy gale
my anchor holds and will not fail.
3 His vow, his covenant and blood
are my defence against the flood;
when earthly hopes are swept away
he will uphold me on that day.
4 When he shall come with trumpet sound,
O may I then in him be found!
clothed in his righteousness alone,
faultless to stand before his throne.
