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. |

When darkness veils His lovely 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; In Him, my righteousness, alone, Faultless to stand before the throne. |

The song gives comfort joy and peace, I sing it with joy and tears knowing that Jesus is my solid Rock. There was a time I faced battles which was beyond me but not beyond God I sing this song to give me comfort and behold Christ the solid Rock saved me and shine light into my darkness

Indeed, Christ is our righteousness and hope.
On Him we stand and we're sure that our tommorow is secure.
Thank You Lord!

This song is so comforting in distresses. Today for me the sun is shining and this song came up in my being. I am surprised at the recent traffic for this ‘old’ hymn. We know we need Him in our distress but even more in the shining.
Robert Smock, a good question.
Seems to me that Jesus blood and righteousness could be mistaken for two different things. Jesus denotes His humanity with precious blood. Sometimes people pray for compassion, humility, peace, actually the Lord is all these things to us. We just need more of Him not this and that. He IS our righteousness. Hopefully someone else will comment.

Why did you change the very first statement in the first verse? The original lyric is "My hope is built on nothing less than JESUS BLOOD AND RIGHTEOUSNESS. There is one who doesn't like mentioning Jesus' shed blood.

This hymn is a big encouragement . It reminds believers of the need to keep trusting God, even in the face of monumental challenges, reversals and vissititudes of life.
