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.

Before waking, remembered hearing the melody and words: "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."

My younger brother has been posting discouraging statement on his whatsapp status, I needed words to encourage him, when I opened my web page, this was the song displayed.... I just knew this was the rain right hymn for him.

2:30 AM can’t sleep started thinking about Christ the solid rock this song came to me, I didn’t know all the words to it so I looked it up it was one of the first songs I sang as a Christian and there’s so much hope and strength and encouragement built into this song to truly express the Living Rock Jesus Christ, To Him be all Glory and Praise.

Marcia willis, me too! I am up at 1:00 but around 12:30 I was waiting for my car to warm up and this part popped in my head

"When He shall come, with trumpet sound

Oh, may I then, in Him be found

Dressed in His righteousness alone

Faultless stand before the throne."

I got in my car and this song was playing.

We often don't realize just how much God through Jesus Christ has given us. He literally gives us His righteousness to stand blameless before God the Father.

Last night I awakened and began to think and worry about all kinds of things. Gradually I became aware of the words of this song repeating in my mind. I let the two verses I remembered play over until I fell asleep. I came to this site to find the remaining words to post on Facebook this morning to encourage others. Thank you Jesus for being The Solid Rock and thank you for being there for me!
