THE SOLID ROCK
   or
MY HOPE IS BUILT ON NOTHING LESS
   Words: Edward Mote
   Tune: Solid Rock, William Bradbury, 1863
 
   E                       B
1  My hope  is  built  on  nothing less
2  When darkness veils His lovely face
3  His oath,  His  coven - ant, His blood
4  When He shall come with trumpet sound,
 
   C#m  A            F#m B         E   
1  Than Jesus' Blood and righteous-ness
2  I    rest on His  un -changing  grace;
3  Sup- port me in   the whelming  flood;
4  O    may I  then  in  Him  be   found;
 
   (E)                      B
1  I dare  not  trust  the  sweetest frame,
2  In  every   high   and   stormy gale,
3  When  all  around   my   soul gives way,
4  Dressed in His righteous-ness alone,
 
   C#m  A              F#m  B        E
1  But  wholly  lean   on   Jesus'   name
2  My   anchor  holds  with-in  the  veil.
3  He   then is  all   my   hope and stay.
4  Fault-less to stand be - fore the throne.
 
Chorus:
   (E)                  A
   On Christ, the solid rock, I stand;
       E                       B
   All other ground is sinking sand,
       E     A      C#m B7      E
   All other ground is  sinking sand,
