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.

The last last line in the last verse I remember as

...dressed in His Righteousness alone, faultless to stand before the Throne... I love this song, thnx for sharing!

I noticed you changed the second line. You took the blood out! "My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus' blood and righteousness!" Without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sins.

I really can't stop listening and reading this very song......I seriously go through a lot in my life, my relationship, my family and even too many to tell. This song and other worship songs lift my spirit up when I feel am getting into my sad moments.......in all, I still thank The MOST HIGH GOD!!!

Singing hymns is spiritually stabilizing. It feels different from the high praise worship session, it always sound so personal, so soothing.

I am going through a tough time of dissolution of relationships and for some reason I have had this song up for the past few days. This morning as part of my devotion "Surrender" was the theme. Although it makes sense to surrender my situation to God especially since the situation and relationships I was in were not the best and I was unequally yoked it is not the easiest of things to do. This song should help us realize that while we can point accusing fingers to man all we want, until we reach a point of total surrender and to the truth that ALL other grounds we look to for validation is sinking sand SAVE JESUS CHRIST then disappointment, fear and frustration will be our portion. This world is not home and the JOY of our eternal home should far outweigh any pleasures we can enjoy temporarily here on earth. Feels good to know we are loved and the one who loves is the CREATOR of the world Himself.
