133. Anchor Me Home

1 Graciously, tenderly, Jesus my Savior
Stands at the helm when the dark billows foam;
Over life’s ocean my vessel directing,
Lead to the harbor and anchor me home.

Refrain:
Anchor me home, anchor me home,
Never again from thy presence to roam;
Over life’s ocean my vessel directing,
Lead to the harbor and anchor me home.

2 Hopefully, prayerfully, trusting thy promise,
What is the world or its changes to me?
Thou art my refuge, I ask for no other,
I have commited my all unto thee. [Refrain]

3 Steadily, earnestly, Jesus my Savior,
Help me with vigor to bend to the oar;
O what a prospect of rapture before me!
Soon and forever I’ll rest on the shore. [Refrain]
