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.
Than Jesus Christ, my 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,
All other ground is sinking sand.
All other ground is sinking sand,
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.
I rest on His unchanging grace;
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil.

His oath, His covenant, His blood,
Support me in the whelming flood;
When all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my hope and stay.
Support me in the whelming flood;
When all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my hope and stay.

When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh, may I then in Him be found;
In Him, my righteousness, alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne.
Oh, may I then in Him be found;
In Him, my righteousness, alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne.

This song is soul lifting. All the confidence you need in the Journey of Christianity is in the lyrics. When you sing it prayerfully, it will minister to you. I pray anyone who reads the lyrics of this song will be blessed.

The last last line in the last verse I remember as
...dressed in His Righteousness alone, faultless to stand before the Throne... I love this song, thnx for sharing!

I noticed you changed the second line. You took the blood out! "My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus' blood and righteousness!" Without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sins.
