My Hope Is Built
Edward Mote,
1797-1874
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.
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.
(Refrain)
3. His oath,
his covenant, his blood
supports me
in the whelming flood.
When all
around my soul gives way,
he then is
all my hope and stay.
(Refrain)
4. When he
shall come with trumpet sound,
O may I
then in him be found!
Dressed in
his righteousness alone,
faultless
to stand before the throne!
(Refrain)
Grace is the “The
unmerited favour of God, made known through Jesus Christ, and expressed supremely
in the redemption and full forgiveness of sinners through faith in Jesus
Christ.”-- Martin H. Manser
CONCLUSION: 2 Corinthians 6:2
