Verse 1
C
My hope is built on nothing less
F                                     G
Than Jesus' blood and righteousness
Am                        Am/G
I dare not trust the sweetest frame

In every high and stormy gale
F                G                       C

My anchor holds within the veil

Faultless, stand before the throne
