My Hope is Built (song)

"My Hope is Built" is a well known Christian song. It reminds us that our hope is built on Christ.

Words

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 in 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

On Christ the solid Rock I stand

All other ground in sinking sand

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

On Christ the solid Rock I stand

All other ground in sinking sand

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

On Christ the solid Rock I stand

All other ground in sinking sand

Modern lyrics and chords

My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteous
No merit of my own I claim
But wholly lean on Jesus’ name

On Christ, the solid rock, I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
