1. 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.

  2. MP 582 Rock of ages

    1. Rock of ages, cleft for me,
      let me hide myself in Thee;
      let the water and the blood,
      from Thy riven side which flowed,
      be of sin the double cure,
      cleanse me from its guilt and power.

    2. Not the labour of my hands
      can fulfil Thy law’s demands;
      could my zeal no respite know,
      could my tears for ever flow,
      all for sin could not atone;
      Thou must save, and Thou alone.

    3. Nothing in my hand I bring,
      simply to Thy cross I cling;
      naked, come to Thee for dress,
      helpless, look to Thee for grace;
      foul, I to the fountain fly;
      wash me, Saviour, or I die.

    4. While I draw this fleeting breath,
      when mine eyes shall close in death,
      when I soar through tracts unknown,
      see Thee on Thy judgement throne;
      Rock of ages, cleft for me,
      let me hide myself in Thee.
