Will Your Anchor Hold

Author: Priscilla Jane Owens Meter: 10.9.10.9 with refrain Appears in 164 hymnals Topics: City/City of God 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 will surely hold in the straits of fear, when the breakers tell and the reef is near; though the tempest rave and the wild winds blow, not an angry wave shall our bark o'erflow? [Refrain] 3 It will surely hold in the floods of death, when the waters cold chill our latest breath; on the rising tide you can never fail while our hopes abide within the veil. [Refrain] 4 When our eyes behold, through the gathering night, the city of gold, our harbour bright, we shall anchor fast by the heavenly shore, with the storms all past for evermore. [Refrain] Used With Tune: WILL YOUR ANCHOR HOLD

They praise Thee still, and happy they Who love the way to Zion's hill! 3 They go from strength to strength Through this dark vale of tears, Till each o'ercomes at length, Till each in heaven appears; O glorious seat! Thou God, our King, Shalt thither bring our willing feet. 4 God is our sun and shield, Our light and our defence; With gifts His hands are filled, We draw our blessings thence; He shall bestow upon our race His saving grace, and glory too 5 The Lord His people loves; His hand no good withholds From those His heart approves, From holy, humble souls; Thrice happy he, O Lord of hosts, Whose spirit trust alone in Thee!
