Our Hope Is Built On Nothing Less

words: Gary Hicks, based on Edward Mote (1797-1874)
copyright 2010 Gary L. Hicks
music: Norwegian folk melody LANDAS
“My Soul Has Found a Resting Place”

1. Our hope is built on nothing less
Than on the Saviour’s blood
We stand on Jesus' righteousness,
Our brother and our God.

ON CHRIST THE SOLID ROCK WE STAND
ALL OTHER GROUND WILL FAIL
WE TRUST HIS FIRM UNCHANGING HAND
AND JESUS WILL PREVAIL.

2. When darkness seems to hide His face
We rest upon His love
Our confidence is heavenly grace
Lord, help us not to move!

3. His oath, His covenant, His blood
Support us in the storm
When all around us falls away
We rest upon His arm.

4. When He shall come with trumpet sound
We’ll rise from earth’s decay
And in His city coming down
Enjoy that endless day!

(I hope to improve this with additional editing.)
