nothing else ~ nothing less

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 is 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 is sinking sand. 

His oath, His covenant, and blood
Support me in the whelming flood;
When every earthly prop gives way,
He then is ALL my Hope and Stay. 

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

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! 

On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.
by Edward Mote, 1797-1874
