Here I Stand

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

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

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

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

On Christ the solid rock I stand 
All other ground is sinking sand
-Edward Mote
