Solid Rock

ON CHRIST THE SOLID ROCK I STAND

by

Edward Mote

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

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

CHORUS:

On Christ the solid Rock I stand!

All other ground is sinking sand

All other ground is 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

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
