Though waves dash around me, no danger I fear,
A bright star is shining, life's ocean to cheer;
I heed not the billows, for still I can sing,
The cross is my anchor, and there will I cling.
There will I cling, there will I cling,
The cross is my anchor, and there will I cling;
Oh, soon in the harbor at rest will I sing;
The cross is my anchor, and Jesus my King.
Though waves dash around me, and loud thunders roll,
The Lord is the refuge and strength of my soul;
I dread not the tempest, for still I can sing,
The cross is my anchor, and there will I cling.
There will I cling, there will I cling,
The cross is my anchor, and there will I cling;
Oh, soon in the harbor at rest will I sing;
The cross is my anchor, and Jesus my King.
Though waves dash around me and wild is the gale,
Though spars may be broken and shattered the sail,
No storms can appal me, for still I can sing,
The cross is my anchor, and there will I cling.
There will I cling, there will I cling,
The cross is my anchor, and there will I cling;
Oh, soon in the harbor at rest will I sing;
The cross is my anchor, and Jesus my King.
Though waves dash around me, yet, onward I go,
Since Jesus has promised they shall not o'erflow;
I smile at their raging, for still I can sing,
The cross is my anchor, and there will I cling.
There will I cling, there will I cling,
The cross is my anchor, and there will I cling;
Oh, soon in the harbor at rest will I sing;
The cross is my anchor, and Jesus my King.
