the solid rock
E Bsus
My hope is built on nothing less
A
Than Jesus' blood and righteousness
E Bsus
I dare not trust the sweetest frame
A B E
But wholly lean on Jesus' name
Refrain
E A
On Christ the solid rock I stand
E Bsus
All other ground is sinking sand
E B E
All other ground is sinking sand
E Bsus
When darkness veils his lovely face
A
I rest on his unchanging grace
E Bsus
In every high and stormy gale
A B E
My anchor holds within the veil
Refrain
E Bsus
His oath, his covenant, his blood
A
Supports me in the whelming flood
E Bsus
When all around my soul gives way
A B E
He then is all my hope and stay
Refrain
E Bsus
When He shall call with trumpet sound
A
Oh may I then in him be found
E Bsus
Dressed In his righteousness alone
A B E
Faultless to stand before the throne
Refrain
