Joy to the World ‎#61

61. Anchored Fast

1 On the Rock of Ages,
Safe within the veil,
We may cast our anchor
As o'er life we sail.

Refrain:
While the tempest rages,
To the Rock of Ages,
I am anchored fast,
I am anchored fast.

2 When the tempest gathers,
To this Rock I cling,
Tho' the waves are round me
Still my soul will sing. [Chorus]

3 Storms may be above me,
Loud may roar the blast,
All is peace within me,
While I'm anchored fast. [Chorus]

4 May I, till the voyage--
All its perils past--
Brings me safe to glory,
Still be anchored fast. [Chorus]
