Will your Anchor Hold?  (play)

Will your anchor hold in the storms of life

When the clouds unfold their wings of strife?

When the strong tides lift and the cables strain

Will you anchor drift or firm remain?

Chorus:

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 Saviour's love!

Will your anchor hold in the straits of fear

When the breakers roar and the reef is near?

While the surges rave, and the wild winds blow

Shall the angry waves then your bark o'erflow

Will your anchor hold in the floods of death

When the waters cold chill your latest breath?

On the rising tide you can never fail

While your anchor holds within the vail

Will your eyes behold thro' the morning light

The city of gold, and the harbour bright?

Will your anchor safe by the heavenly shore

When life's storms are passed for evermore
