My Anchor Holds
Author: William C. Martin Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8.8.6 Appears in 13 hymnals First Line: My life is like a stormy sea Refrain First Line: A mighty anchor holds me fast Lyrics:
1 My life is like a stormy sea,
Where oft the gales sweep over me;
But when the billows wildly roll,
I have an anchor for my soul.
Refrain:
A mighty anchor holds me fast
In every wild and stormy blast;
My hope is sure, I am secure,
My anchor holds me fast.
2 When thro’ the dark and troubled night,
I fail to see the harbor light,
I lift a prayer above the gale,
And trust the power that cannot fail. [Refrain]
3 Tho’ many wrecks may strew the shore,
And souls go down to rise no more,
My soul shall live till storms are past:
A mighty anchor holds me fast. [Refrain]
4 The summertime is drawing near,
And soon the skies will all be clear;
And in a peaceful port at last,
My precious anchor shall be cast. [Refrain]
Used With Tune: GAITHERSBURG Text Sources: Messenger of Song by Rufus Cornelius (Midlothian, TX: R. H. Cornelius, 1912)
