verse 1 
E                   Bsus    B 
My hope is built on nothing less      
     A                B        E   Esus 
Than Jesus' blood and righteousness 
           B 
I dare not trust the sweetest frame 
    A              B      E 
But wholly lean on Jesus' name 
 
E                   A 
On Christ the solid rock I stand 
    E               Bsus    B 
All other ground is sinking sand 
    E               B       E   E/G# A2 E2 E/G# A2 E 
All other ground is sinking sand 

verse 2 
E                       Bsus   B 
When darkness veils his lovely face 
  A              B       E    Esus 
I rest on his unchanging grace 
         B 
In every high and stormy gale  
   A            B          E 
My anchor holds within the veil 

verse 3 
E                       Bsus B 
His oath, his covenant, his blood 
   A               B        E    Esus 
Supports me in the whelming flood 
                B 
When all around my soul gives way 
   A              B        E 
He then is all my hope and stay 

verse 4 
E                       Bsus    B 
When He shall call with trumpet sound 
   A             B      E    Esus 
Oh may I then in him be found 
               B 
Dressed In his righteousness alone 
     A               B        E 
Faultless to stand before the throne
