    What's your favorite hymn? Why is it your favorite?
    Mine (since I was 5) is "My Hope is Built on Nothing Less" -- author, Edward Mote, 1834; composer, John Stainer (1873), #370 in the 1941 Lutheran Hymnal. Why is it my favorite? Because it tells me everything I need to know.

    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.

    Chorus:
    On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
    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.

    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;
    In Him, my righteousness, alone,
    Faultless to stand before the throne.
