Author: Priscilla Jane Owens, 1829-1907 Hymnal: The Book of Praise #744 (1997) Meter: 10.9.10.9 with refrain First Line: Will your anchor hold in the storms of life Refrain First Line: We have an anchor that keeps the soul Lyrics: 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?
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!
2 Will your anchor hold in the straits of fear,
when the breakers roar and the reef is near?
While the surges rave and the wild winds blow,
shall the angry waves then your bark o'erflow? [Refrain]
3 Will your eyes behold through the morning light
the city of gold and the harbour bright?
Will you anchor safe by the heavenly shore,
when life's storms are past forevermore? [Refrain]
