Even in times of darkness and storms, the singer finds stability in God's unchanging grace and covenant. The song looks forward to Christ's return, expressing confidence in being found faultless through His righteousness alone.

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
When darkness seems to hide His face
I rest on His unchanging grace
In every high and stormy gale
My anchor holds within the veil
His oath, His covenant, His blood
Support me in the whelming flood
When all around my soul gives way
He then is all my Hope and Stay
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
Oh Christ the solid Rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand
