D  G                D            G    C                D         G
My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus’ blood and righteous-ness.
D G                  D               G   C              D      G
I dare not trust the sweetest frame, but wholly lean on Jesus’ name.
G         D7  G     C                 G                       D
On Christ the solid rock I stand; all other ground is sinking sand,
    G     C      G  D       G
All other ground is sinking sand.


[[Full Lyrics]]

[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 seems to veils His 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, and 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,
O may I then in Him be found! 
Clad in His righteousness alone, 
Faultless to stand before the throne.
