The Solid Rock

 I am a lover of tradition, of things old and sacred that dwell down deep in the heart and soul. Things like these bring me great joy. One of my favorite things are hymns. Within the words and melodies of hymns you can hear every thought of the author and what times were like for them, so long ago. There is one hymn that I can remember singing as a child, which  has been running through my mind this past week. One that gives me peace and hope.

The Solid Rock

My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus’ name.

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;
Dressed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne.

Refrain:
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand.

This hymn was written by Edward Mote in 1834.

Isn’t it wonderful to know that no matter how hard life gets, trusting in Jesus’ name will get us through. When we stand on the rock of Christ, we will be secure no matter what happens around us.
