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?
We have an anchor
that keeps the soul
Steadfast and sure
while the billows roll;
Fastened to the Rock
which cannot move,
Grounded firm and deep
in the Saviour's love!
It is safely moored,
’twill the storm withstand,
For ’tis well secured
by the Savior’s hand;
And the cables, passed
from His heart to mine,
Can defy that blast,
through strength divine.
We have an anchor
that keeps the soul
Steadfast and sure
while the billows roll;
Fastened to the Rock
which cannot move,
Grounded firm and deep
in the Saviour's love!
Will your anchor hold
in the straits of fear,
When the breakers roar
and the reef is near?
While the surges rave,
and the wild winds blow,
Shall the angry waves
then your bark o'erflow?
We have an anchor
that keeps the soul
Steadfast and sure
while the billows roll;
Fastened to the Rock
which cannot move,
Grounded firm and deep
in the Saviour's love!
Will your anchor hold
in the floods of death,
When the waters cold
chill your latest breath?
On the rising tide
you can never fail,
While your anchor holds
within the veil.
We have an anchor
that keeps the soul
Steadfast and sure
while the billows roll;
Fastened to the Rock
which cannot move,
Grounded firm and deep
in the Saviour's love!
Will your eyes behold
through the morning light
The city of gold
and the harbour bright?
Will you anchor safe
by the heavenly shore,
When life's storms
are past for evermore?
We have an anchor
that keeps the soul
Steadfast and sure
while the billows roll;
Fastened to the Rock
which cannot move,
Grounded firm and deep
in the Saviour's love!
---Alternative verses---
It will surely hold
in the Straits of Fear—
When the breakers have told
that the reef is near;
Though the tempest rave
and the wild winds blow,
Not an angry wave
shall our bark o’erflow.
We have an anchor
that keeps the soul
Steadfast and sure
while the billows roll;
Fastened to the Rock
which cannot move,
Grounded firm and deep
in the Saviour's love!
It will firmly 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.
We have an anchor
that keeps the soul
Steadfast and sure
while the billows roll;
Fastened to the Rock
which cannot move,
Grounded firm and deep
in the Saviour's love!
