Will Your Anchor Hold
Author: Priscilla Jane Owens Meter: 10.9.10.9 with refrain Appears in 148 hymnals 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] Topics: The Church in the World Commitment: Trust; Choruses and Refrains; City/City of God; Commitment; Eternal Life; Jesus Christ Saviour; Pilgrimage and Conflict; Trust; Water; Youth; Proper 14 Year A Used With Tune: WILL YOUR ANCHOR HOLD

in kindling thought and glowing word,
your love to tell, your praise to show.

God of Grace and God of Glory
Author: Harry Emerson Fosdick Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 155 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God of grace and God of glory,
on your people pour your power;
now fulfil your church’s story;
bring its bud to glorious flower.
Grant us wisdom, grant us courage,
for the facing of this hour.
2 Lo, the hosts of evil round us
scorn your Christ, assail your ways;
fears and doubts too long have bound us;
free our hearts to work and praise.
Grant us wisdom, grant us courage,
for the living of these days.
3 Cure your children’s warring madness,
bend our pride to your control;
shame our wanton selfish gladness,
rich in goods and poor in soul.
Grant us wisdom, grant us courage,
lest we miss your kingdom's goal.
4 Set our feet on lofty places;
gird our lives that they may be
armoured with all Christ-like graces,
pledged to set all captives free.
Grant us wisdom, grant us courage,
that we fail not them nor thee.

Take My Life and Let It Be
Author: Frances Ridley Havergal Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 1,215 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Take my life and let it be
consecrated, all for thee;
take my moments and my days;
let them flow in ceaseless praise.
2 Take my hands, and let them move
at the impulse of thy love,
take my feet, and let them be
swift and purposeful for thee.
3 Take my lips, and let them be
filled with messages from thee;
take my intellect, and use
every power as thou shalt choose.
4 Take my will, and make it thine;
it shall be no longer mine;
take my heart, it is thine own;
it shall be thy royal throne.
5 Take my love: and I will pour
at thy feet its treasure store;
take myself, and I will be
ever, only, all for thee.
