Hymn 422 - We Have an Anchor

Lyrics

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?


It is safely moored, ’twill the storm withstand,

For ’tis well secured by the Saviour’s hand;

And the cables, passed from His heart to mine,

Can defy that blast, thro’ strength divine.


It will firmly hold in the straits of fear,

When the breakers have told the reef is near;

Tho’ the tempest rave and the wild winds blow,

Not an angry wave shall our bark o'erflow.


When our eyes behold thro’ the gath’ring night

The city of gold, our harbor bright,

We shall anchor fast by the heav’nly shore,

With the storms all past forevermore.


REFRAIN

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.
