The Solid Rock


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Words: Edward Mote
Tune: Solid Rock, William Bradbury, 1863

   E                B
My hope is built on nothing less
   C#m  A            F#m B         E  
than Jesus blood and righteousness
   (E)                B
I dare not trust the sweetest frame
   C#m  A         F#m  B    E
But wholy lean on Jesus name

Chorus
   (E)               A
On Christ the solid rock I stand
       E             F#m      B
All other ground is sinking sand
       E     A      C#m B7   E
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

(Chorus)

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

(Chorus)

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
