Representative Text

1 I’ve an anchor strong that will surely hold
Tho’ the wildest billows roll,
‘Tis the faith I have in Thee, Christ my Lord,
Who the winds and waves control.

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. [Refrain]
