[Verse 1]
N.C.               G         C  D  
In Christ alone, my hope is found,
GHe is my Clight, my Dstrength, my Gsong.
This CcornerGstone, this Csolid Dground,
GFirm through the Cfiercest Ddrought and Gstorm.
What heights of Clove, what Gdepths of Dpeace,
When Gfears are Cstilled, when Gstrivings Dcease.
My CComforGter, my CAll in DAll,
GHere in the Clove of DChrist, I Gstand.
[Verse 2]
In CChrist aGlone, who Ctook on Dflesh
GFullness of CGod in Dhelpless Gbabe!
This Cgift of Glove and CrighteousDness,
GScorned by the Cones he Dcame to Gsave.
Till on that Ccross, as GJesus Ddied,
The Gwrath of CGod was GsatisDfied.
For Cevery Gsin on CHim was Dlaid;
GHere in the Cdeath of DChrist, I Glive.
[Verse 3]
There Cin the Gground, His Cbody Dlay, 
GLight of the Cworld by Ddarkness Gslain. 
Then, Cbursting Gforth in Cglorious Dday,
GUp from the Cgrave He Drose aGgain!
And as He Cstands in GvictoDry,
Sin's Gcurse has Clost its Ggrip on Dme.
For CI am GHis, and CHe is Dmine, 
GBought with the Cprecious Dblood of GChrist.
[Verse 4]
No Cguilt in Glife, no Cfear in Ddeath; 
GThis is the Cpow'r of DChrist in Gme. 
From Clife's first Gcry, to Cfinal Dbreath,
GJesus comCmands my DdestiGny. 
No pow'r of Chell, no Gscheme of Dman, 
Can Gever Cpluck me Gfrom His Dhand. 
Till CHe retGurns or Ccalls me Dhome,
GHere in the Cpow'r of DChrist, I'll Gstand.
[Outro]
GHere in the Cpow'r of DChrist I'll Gstand.
