As Edward Mote was walking to work one day in 1834, the thought popped into his head to write a hymn on the “Gracious Experience of a Christian.” As he walked up the road, he had the chorus, “On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand; All other ground is sinking sand.” By the end of the day, he had the fir...
[Verse 1]
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness
I dare not trust the sweetest frame
But wholly lean on Jesus’ name
[Refrain]
On Christ, the solid rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand
[Verse 2]
In ev’ry rough and stormy gale
My anchor holds within the vale
When all around my soul gives way
He then is all my hope and stay
[Refrain]
On Christ, the solid rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand
[Verse 3]

[Refrain]
On Christ, the solid rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand
[Verse 4]
When he shall come with trumpet sound
Oh, may I then in him be found
Dressed in his righteousness alone
Faultless to stand before the throne
[Refrain]
On Christ, the solid rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand
