Author: Priscilla J. Owens, 1829-1907 Hymnal: Worship and Service Hymnal #288 (1957) 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 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. (Refrain)
3 It will firmly hold in the straits of fear,
When the breakers have told that the reef is near;
Though the tempest rave and the wild winds blow,
Not an angry wave shall our bark o’erflow. (Refrain)
4 When our eyes behold through 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) Topics: Perseverance; The Christian Way of Life Assurance and Trust Languages: English Tune Title: [Will your anchor hold in the storms of life]
