on my tempest-driven soul,
I am peaceful, for I know,
wildly though the winds may blow,
I've an anchor safe and sure,
that can evermore endure.
Refrain:
And it holds, my anchor holds;
blow your wildest then, O gale,
on my bark so small and frail:
by his grace I shall not fail,
for my anchor holds, my anchor holds.
2 Mighty tides about me sweep,
perils lurk within the deep,
angry clouds o'ershade the sky,
and the tempest rises high;
still I stand the tempest's shock,
for my anchor grips the Rock. [Refrain]
3 I can feel the anchor fast
as I meet each sudden blast,
and the cable, though unseen,
bears the heavy strain between;
through the storm I safely ride,
till the turning of the tide. [Refrain]
4 Troubles almost 'whelm the soul;
griefs like billows o'er me roll;
tempters seek to lure astray,
storms obscure the light of day:
but in Christ I can be bold,
I've an anchor that shall hold. [Refrain]
