The Solid Rock
(written by Edward Mote)


Verse 1:
My hope is built on nothing less
than Jesus’ blood and righteousness.
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
but wholly trust in Jesus’ name.

Refrain:
On Christ, The Solid Rock, I stand,
all other ground is sinking sand;
all other ground is sinking sand.

Verse 2:
When darkness seems to hide His face,
I rest on His unchanging grace.
In every high and stormy gale,
my anchor holds within the veil.

Refrain

Verse 3:
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.

Refrain

Verse 4:
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.

Refrain
