The Solid Rock
words by Edward Mote, music by William B. Bradbury

Verse 1:

E                   B
My hope is built on nothing less,

     A                B        E
Than Jesus' blood and righteousness.

E                    B
I dare not trust the sweetest frame

    A              B      E
But wholly lean on Jesus' Name.


Chorus:

E                   A
On Christ the solid rock I stand,

    E                       B
All other ground is sinking sand,

    C#m             B       E
All other ground is sinking sand.


Verse 2:

When darkness seems to hide His face,
I rest on His unchanging grace.
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil.

Verse 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.

Verse 4:

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