about

This is an amazing old hymn. I think very few songs contain so much truth is so few words.

lyrics

Christ the Solid Rock

Verse 1:
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus Christ, my righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus’ name.

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

Verse 2:
When darkness hides His lovely face,
I rest on His unchanging grace;
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil.

Verse 3:
When Christ shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh, may I then in Him be found;
Dressed in His righteousness, alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne.

Lyrics: Edward Mote (1797-1874)
Music: William Batchelder Bradbury (1816-1868)
