WILL YOUR ANCHOR HOLD
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?
Chorus:
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!
2. It is safely moor’d, >twill the storm
withstand,
For >tis well secured by the
Saviour’s hand;
And the cables, pass’d from His
heart to mine,
Can defy the blast, thro’ strength
divine.
3. It will firmly hold in the straits of
fear,
When the breakers have told the
reef is near;
Tho’ the tempest rage 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, thro’ the
gathering night,
The city of gold, our harbour bright,
We shall anchor fast by the heav’nly
shore,
With the storms all past for
evermore.
