Hymn 461
1MY hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus' blood and righteousness ;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus' name.
2When darkness seems to veil his face,
I rest on his unchanging grace ;
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil.
3His promise, covenant, and blood,
Support me in the whelming flood ;
When all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my hope and stay.
