ON CHRIST THE SOLID ROCK I STAND
Did you remember? I said I would post a hymn each day for the next week to give you a little taste for singing the old hymns again.
This picture was taken years ago of three of my grandsons singing the hymn: "My hope is built on nothing less." It was their favorite hymn, and they are singing the chorus with every bit of gusto they can muster! Encouraged of course by Granddad!
The boys are Arrow Johnson, Cedar Allison who is married to Halle (they have little Lael and are expecting another baby), and Noble Barrett who is married to Megan (they have two little daughters, Isla and Vienna).
Blessings from Nancy
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 OTHE 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.
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.
