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 rage, and the wild winds blow, shall the angry waves then your bark o'erflow? [Refrain] 3 Will your anchor hold in the floods of death, when the waters cold chill your latest breath? On the rising tide you can never fail, while your anchor holds within the veil. [Refrain] 4 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 for evermore?

Glorious things of thee are spoken

Author: John Newton (1725-1807) Hymnal: CH4 #738 (2005) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of thee are spoken, Zion, city of our God; he whose word cannot be broken formed thee for his own abode. On the Rock of Ages founded, what can shake thy sure repose? With salvation's walls surrounded, thou mayest smile at all thy foes. 2 See! the streams of living waters, springing from eternal love, well supply thy sons and daughters, and all fear of want remove. Who can faint while such a river ever will their thirst assuage -- grace which, like the Lord the Giver, never fails from age to age? 3 Saviour, since of Zion's city I, through grace, a member am, let the world deride or pity, I will glory in thy Name. Fading is the worldling's pleasure, and all boasted pomp and show; solid joys and lasting treasure none but Zion's children know.

The Church's one foundation

Author: Samuel John Stone (1839-1900) Hymnal: CH4 #739 (2005) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 The Church's one foundation is Jesus Christ her Lord: she is his new creation by water and the word; from heaven he came and sought her to be his holy bride; with his own blood he bought her, and for her life he died. 2 Called forth from every nation, yet one o'er all the earth, her charter of salvation: one Lord, one faith, one birth. One holy name she blesses, and shares one holy food, as to one hope she presses, with every grace endued. 3 In toil and tribulation, and tumult of her war she waits the consummation of peace for evermore, till with the vision glorious her longing eyes are blest, and the great Church victorious shall be the Church at rest. 4 Yet she on earth has union with God, the Three in one, and mystical communion with those whose rest is won. O happy ones and holy! Lord, give us grace that we, like them, the meek and lowly, on high may dwell with thee.

Rejoice in God's saints, today and all days!

Author: Frederick Pratt Green (1903-2000) Hymnal: CH4 #742 (2005) Meter: 10.10.11.11 Lyrics: 1 Rejoice in God's saints, today and all days! A world without saints forgets how to praise. Their faith in acquiring the habit of prayer, their depth of adoring, Lord, help us to share. 2 Some march with events to turn them God's way; some need to withdraw, the better to pray; some carry the gospel through fire and through flood: our world is their parish: their purpose is God. 3 Rejoice in those saints, unpraised and unknown, who bear someone's cross, or shoulder their own: they share our complaining, our comforts, our cares: what patience in caring, what courage, is theirs! 4 Rejoice in God's saints, today and all days! A world without saints forgets how to praise. In loving, in living, they prove it is true: the way of self-giving, Lord, leads us to you.
