[Verse 1]
DWill your anchor hGold in the sAtorms of lDife,
When the clAouds unfold their wings Eof stArife?
When the stDrong tides lAift and the cables sDtrain,
Will your anchor drGift, or fAirm reDmain?
[Chorus]
We have an anchor that keGeps the sDoul
Steadfast and sure while the billows rAoll,
FastDened to the Rock which cannot mGove,
GrAounded firm and deep Gin the SavAior’s lDove.
[Verse 2]
DIt is safely moGored, ’twill the stAorm withstDand,
For ’tis wAell secured by the SavioEr’s hAand;
And the cDables, paAssed from His heart to mDine,
Can defy that bGlast, thro’ strength AdiviDne.
[Verse 3]
DIt will surely hGold in the StAraits of FDear
When the brAeakers have told that the reef Eis nAear;
Though the tDempest rAave and the wild winds bDlow,
Not an aGngry wave shall our bAark o’erDflow.
[Verse 4]
DIt will firmly hGold in the FAloods of DDeath
When the waAters cold chill our lateEst brAeath,
On the rDising tAide it can never fDail,
While our hopes aGbide within tAhe VDeil.
[Verse 5]
DWhen our eyes behGold through the gaAth’ring niDght
The city of Agold, our harbEor brAight,
We shall anDchor fAast by the heav’nly sDhore,
With the storms Gall past foArevermDore.

When the clouds unfold their wings of strife?

Will your anchor drift, or firm remain?

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 Savior’s love.

D G A D

It is safely moored, ’twill the storm withstand,

And the cables, passed from His heart to mine,

Can defy that blast, thro’ strength divine.

It will surely hold in the Straits of Fear

When the breakers have told that the reef is near;

Not an angry wave shall our bark o’erflow.

While our hopes abide within the Veil.

The city of gold, our harbor bright,

We shall anchor fast by the heav’nly shore,
