The Solid Rock / I Will Call Upon the Lord

 

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.

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.

3 

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.

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:

On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand:

all other ground is sinking sand;

all other ground is sinking sand.

The Lord liveth; and blessed be my rock: and let the God of my salvation be exalted. ~Psalm 18:46

There is another song that correlates with this scripture, which is not in our hymnals, but at Harding we sang it as a "devo" (devotional) song in informal worship settings.
