To God be the glory. This is so nice. Whenever I sing it it moves me. Yes, Jesus Christ is the only Rock one can built hope on because other ground are sinking sand. Thank You O Lord for being my everlasting Rock.
In Matt 7:24-27, on which this hymn is based, to build on the solid rock is to hear Christ's words and DO them. To build on the sand is to hear Christ's words and NOT DO them.
Matt 7:24 starts with "Therefore", meaning that it explains the previous verses about entering into the kingdom, so I've included them:
Matt 7:21 Not every one that says unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
24 Therefore whosoever hears these sayings of mine, and does them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
26 And every one that hears these sayings of mine, and does them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
(Mat 7:21-27 KJV)

Here is some more about the hymn author to add to David's post on 4/9/2010, Deb's on 2/1/2012 and mine on 7/20/2012:
Mote was born of very poor, unGodly parents in London., England. At the age of 16, as a cabinet maker's apprentice, he was taken by his master to hear a preacher, through whom Mote received the Lord. He became a well-known cabinet maker, and at the age of 55 he became a minister of a Baptist church in Sussex, England. There he ministered for another 21 years until poor health forced him to step down. He wrote more than 100 hymn texts in his life. This hymn may be his best known. It was first entitled, "The gracious experience of a Christian," but in a later publication in 1863 he put it under the title, "The immutable basis of a sinner's hope." - Songs of the Spirit by Martin
Oh Lord my God, I do not have any alternative, You are my all in all. You are my only hope. I rest on You oh Lord. We are safe and secure on Your everlasting arms because You are our everlasting portion. Glory be to Your name oh Lord in Jesus name. Thanks for uploading this song. God bless you and your ministry in Jesus Name, Amen. Shalom!!!
On Christ the solid rock I stand all other grounds is sinking sand....it is so heart touching always reminds me of my favorite Psalm 27. God is so good....
God's dealing with His redeemed people through the Trinity was for the purpose of keeping them in the enjoyment of His riches through His divine dispensing. Without the Angel of Jehovah, Jehovah had no way to go with them in their midst. For Jehovah to be with His people, there was the need of the Angel. Today without Christ, God has no way to be with us. Furthermore, the cloud and the pillar of cloud were necessary for God to come to His people and stay with them. Similarly, today the Spirit, the pneumatic Christ, enables God to come to us and stay with us so that we may enjoy His presence. The crucified Christ as the cleft rock is our standing and hiding before the manifested God. Hymns, #298 says, "On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand; / All other ground is sinking sand." Hymns, #206 says, "I stand upon His merit; / I know no other stand." Because the crucified Christ, Christ in His death, is our standing and our hiding, we can communicate with and contact God. The merciful and governmental God and the rebellious, stiff-necked people can be brought together only through the Angel, the pillar of cloud, the cleft rock, and the hand of Jehovah, which typify Christ as God's sent One, the pneumatic Christ, Christ in His death, and Christ as the covering in God's manifestation. Because of the operation of the Trinity in this way, we now enjoy God's continual presence. Moreover, He manifests Himself to us, and we see Him in a hidden way. We have a standing and a hiding, a covering. This all-inclusive care of the Divine Trinity is for the purpose of His remaining with us to dispense Himself for our enjoyment.
