Quotable

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

Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
 Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine! Heir of salvation, purchase of God, Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood. This is my story, this is my song; Praising my Savior all the day long.

***

O love that will not let me go, I rest my weary soul on Thee!
