Refrain: Faith will e’er prevail, Faith will e’er prevail, I believe the word of my risen Lord: Faith will e’er prevail. 2 I’ve an anchor strong that is grounded deep In my blessed Savior’s love, Tho’ the storm may rage, yet I’m cabled strong To the Rock that cannot move. [Refrain] 3 I’ve an anchor strong that will firmly hold Thro’ the swelling floods of death It will keep my soul, when the waters cold Chill my last expiring breath.
