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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Oh, may I then in Him be found;
In Him, my righteousness, alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne.

Great Hymn, it calls us to trust in the Lord, our salvation, our solid Rock.

I was asked by someone, if you die today what would you do if God ask you why should I allow you in heaven.
My reply was, my hope is built on nothing less than Jesus Christ my righteousness.
He said that is the best answer I’ve ever gotten.
Many people do not realize how much good Bible doctrines are in some of the hymns of the faith.
Thank Jesus

This thot is for Lisa Anderson... I wondered, too, about the word "frame", in the lyrics. Here's my thots: Mr More was a carpenter, right? My guess is "frame" is totally related to carpentry... I found this in the dictionary:
"the underlying constructional system or structure that gives shape or strength (as to a building)". A builder/carpenter builds a frame work to support the final product albeit a house, furniture etc. But, More is saying, no matter how sweet, how solid our man-made "frame" for our life is, we shouldn't rely on it/ourselves but solely lean on Jesus and His name!! Wahoo!! I totally agree!! Our HOPE, our only HOPE, is Jesus Christ and what He did for us on Calvary!! See you saints, in Glory, one day!!
