Hymn Monday - "My Hope is Built on Nothing Less"

Today's hymn, "My Hope is Built on Nothing Less" (#576), is from the "Lutheran Service Book" (c) 2006 Concordia Publishing House.


My hope is built on nothing less Than Jesus' blood and righteousness;
No merit of my own I claim But wholly lean on Jesus's name.
On Christ, the solid rock, I stand; All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand.
 
When darkness veils His lovely face, I rest on His unchanging grace;
In ev'ry high and stormy gale My anchor holds within the veil.
On Christ, the solid rock, I stand; All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand.
 
His oath, his covenant and blood Support me in the raging flood;
When ev'ry earthly prop gives way, He then is all my hope and stay.
On Christ, the solid rock, I stand; All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand.
 
When He shall come with trumpet sound, Oh, may I then in Him be found,
Clothed in His righteousness alone, Redeemed to stand before His throne!
On Christ, the solid rock, I stand; All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand.
 
Jesu Juva,
Soli Deo Gloria
