MP 473 My hope is built
1. My hope is built on nothing less
  than Jesus’ blood and righteousness;
  no merit of my own I claim,
  but wholly trust in Jesus’ name.
  
  On Christ, the solid rock, I stand –
  all other ground is sinking sand.
2. When weary in this earthly race,
  I rest on His unchanging grace;
  in every wild and stormy gale
  my anchor holds and will not fail.
  
  On Christ, the solid rock, I stand –
  all other ground is sinking sand.
3. His vow, His covenant and blood
  are my defence against the flood;
  when earthly hopes are swept away
  He will uphold me on that day.
  
  On Christ, the solid rock, I stand –
  all other ground is sinking sand.
4. When the last trumpet’s voice shall sound,
  O may I then in Him be found!
  clothed in His righteousness alone,
  faultless to stand before His throne.
  
  On Christ, the solid rock, I stand –
  all other ground is sinking sand.
MP 746
1. What a friend we have in Jesus,
  all our sins and griefs to bear!
  What a privilege to carry
  evervthing to God in prayer!
  O what peace we often forfeit,
  O what needless pain we bear
  all because we do not carry
  everything to God in prayer!
2. Have we trials and temptations?
  Is there trouble anywhere?
  We should never be discouraged:
  take it to the Lord in prayer!
  Can we find a friend so faithful,
  who will all our sorrows share?
  Jesus knows our every weakness –
  take it to the Lord in prayer!
3. Are we weak and heavy-laden,
  cumbered with a load of care?
  Precious Saviour, still our refuge!
  Take it to the Lord in prayer!
  Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
  Take it to the Lord in prayer!
  In His arms He’ll take and shield thee,
  thou wilt find a solace there.
