My hope is built on nothing less

1
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus Christ, my righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus’ name.
  On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand,
  All other ground is sinking sand.
2
When darkness veils His lovely face,
I rest on His unchanging grace;
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil.
3
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.
4
When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh, may I then in Him be found;
In Him, my righteousness, alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne.

Preparing for my dad's funeral who passed away aged 100, ,this song kept coming back to me all morning and day and night. I knew the holy spirit is saying something to me. "Lean on Jesus alone. He is the solid rock. He is all in all sufficient." My dad lived that way too.

I was asked to sing this song in a church in my dream, I knew the song but I could not sing it well, I do not flow well with the song due to lack of concretion and then I woke up after several trials by 4am.

This hymn is one that lifts up your spirit. No matter the challenge you might be going through. It also gives the assurance of salvation and justification. God bless the author in glory.

On Christ the solid rock I stand all other ground is sinking sand.. I've meditated on this hymn for a while and it surely speaks a tone through my mind that Christ is the only answer to our hardship and iniquities. Our problems will outweigh us if we don't stand by Christ. Christ is the answer.

WHAT a Blessing to be able to share this song (that was written in the late 1800's) with a niece who is going thru some tough times. It is as enduring as God's Love and our redemption thru Christ for all humanity- that calls HIM LORD!

For a few days, the small voice kept saying, all else is sinking sand. This is the Holy Spirit bringing to my attention something the Lord is wanting me to know. I only remembered this as part of an old hymn. For sure, every word in this hymn is ministering to me. Awesome God we have who knows everything. Praise Him forever more. Wrote it down, and thank you site for making these hymns available to us. May our Lord bless you in Jesus name.
