In every high and stormy gale, my anchor holds within the veil. [Refrain] 3 His oath, his covenant, his blood, support me in the whelming flood. When all around my soul gives way, he then is all my hope and stay. [Refrain] 4 When he shall come with trumpet sound, O may I then in him be found. Dressed in his righteousness alone, faultless to stand before the throne. [Refrain] Used With Tune: THE SOLID ROCK
