As a tree beside the water,
Has the Savior planted me;
All my fruit shall be in season,
I shall live eternally.
I shall not be moved,
I shall not be moved,
Anchored to the Rock of Ages,
I shall not be moved.
Though the tempest rage around me,
Through the storm my Lord I see,
Pointing upward to that haven,
Where my loved ones wait for me.
I shall not be moved,
I shall not be moved,
Anchored to the Rock of Ages,
I shall not be moved.
When by grief my heart is broken,
And the sunshine steals away,
Then His grace, in mercy given,
Changes darkness into day.
I shall not be moved,
I shall not be moved,
Anchored to the Rock of Ages,
I shall not be moved.
When at last I stand before Him,
Oh, what joy it will afford,
Just to see the sinner ransomed,
And behold my sovereign Lord.
I shall not be moved,
I shall not be moved,
Anchored to the Rock of Ages,
I shall not be moved.
