Will your anchor hold in the storms of life?
“An anchor of the soul both sure and steadfast” Heb. 6:19
1.
Will your anchor hold in the storms of life?
When the clouds unfold their wings of strife;
When the strong tides lift and the cables strain,
Will your anchor drift or firm remain?
Refrain
We have an anchor that keeps the soul
Steadfast and sure while the billows roll:
Fasten’d to the Rock which cannot move,
Grounded firm and deep in the
Saviour’s love.
2.
It is safely moored, t’will the storm withstand
For ’tis well secured by the Saviour’s hand
And the cables passed from His heart to mine
Can defy the blast, through strength divine.
3.
It will firmly hold in the straits of fear,
When the breakers have told the reef is near,
Though the tempest rave and the wild winds blow
Not an angry wave shall our bark o’erflow
4.
It will surely hold in the floods of death,
When the waters cold, chill our latest breath
On the rising tide it can never fail,
While our hopes abide within the veil!
5.
When our eyes behold, through the gathering night
The city of gold, our harbor bright,
We shall anchor fast by the heavenly shore,
With the storms all past for ever more
Amen
