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
