Christ in Song 323
Secure
Words: E. MoteMusic: Wm. B. BradburyTune: Solid RockL. M.
1My hope is built on nothing less Than Jesus' blood and righteousness; I dare not trust the sweetest frame, But wholly lean on Jesus' name.
RefrainOn Christ, the solid rock, I stand; All other ground is sinking sand, All other ground is sinking sand.
2When darkness veils his lovely face, I rest on his unchanging grace; In every high and stormy gale, My anchor holds within the veil.
3His 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.
4When 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.
