HYMN: “MY HOPE IS BUILT ON NOTHING LESS”
(Full Original Lyrics by Edward Mote, 1834)

Verse 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.

Refrain:
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand.

Verse 2:
When darkness veils His lovely face,
I rest on His unchanging grace;
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil.

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.

Verse 4
When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh, may I then in Him be found;
Clothed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne.

Verse 5 (Lesser Known)
To Him I owe my life and breath,
And all the joys I taste in death;
Through Him I triumph o’er the grave,
And live eternally to save.
