“Land ahead!” its fruits are waving
O’er the hills of fadeless green;
And the living waters laving,
Shores where heavenly
forms are seen.
Rocks and storms I’ll fear no more,
When on that eternal shore;
Drop the anchor!
Furl the sail!
I am safe within the vail!
Onward, bark!
The cape I’m rounding:
See the blessed wave their hands;
Hear the harps of God resounding
From the bright immortal bands.
Rocks and storms I’ll fear no more,
When on that eternal shore;
Drop the anchor!
Furl the sail!
I am safe within the vail!
There “let go the anchor,” riding
On this calm and silvery bay:
Seaward fast the tide is gliding,
Shores in sunlight stretch away.
Rocks and storms I’ll fear no more,
When on that eternal shore;
Drop the anchor!
Furl the sail!
I am safe within the vail!
When we’re free from
all temptation,
And the storms of life are past:
We’ll praise the Rock
of our salvation,
Who hath brought us home at last.
Rocks and storms I’ll fear no more,
When on that eternal shore;
Drop the anchor!
Furl the sail!
I am safe within the vail!
