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 your anchor drift or firm remain?
When the clouds unfold their wings of strife?
When the strong tides lift, and the cables strain,
Will your anchor drift or firm remain?
We have an anchor that keeps the soul
Stedfast and sure while the billows roll,
Fastened to the Rock which cannot move,
Grounded firm and deep in the Savior’s love.
Stedfast and sure while the billows roll,
Fastened to the Rock which cannot move,
Grounded firm and deep in the Savior’s love.

It is safely moored, ’twill the storm withstand,
For ’tis well secured by the Savior’s hand;
And the cables passed from His heart to mine,
Can defy the blast, through strength divine.
For ’tis well secured by the Savior’s hand;
And the cables passed from His heart to mine,
Can defy the blast, through strength divine.

It will firmly hold in the straits of fear,
When the breakers have told the reef is near;
Though the tempest rave and the wild winds blow,
Not an angry wave shall our bark o’erflow.
When the breakers have told the reef is near;
Though the tempest rave and the wild winds blow,
Not an angry wave shall our bark o’erflow.

It will surely hold in the floods of death,
When the waters cold chill our latest breath;
On the rising tide it can never fail,
While our hopes abide within the veil.
When the waters cold chill our latest breath;
On the rising tide it can never fail,
While our hopes abide within the veil.

Each time I sing this song, I have a deep inner peace knowing fully that my anchor holds irrespective of the ranging storms of life.

This song was playing in my spirit in my dream till I woke up today. I had to search for it and sing it repeatedly.

Life pulls my heart from Jesus. I desire to stay focused on the beauty of Christ so that I will remain anchored in him.
Meditating on the restlessness of a Soul.
And this Song came to my mind.

What a happy Sunday compulsory church attendance and then the Wednesday evening, being at the adult fellowship singing, "Jesu lover of my Soul", Abide with me", "Will your anchor hold" MHB 1 or 100 we must prepared to sing it loud and proud. I must say we had no idea the Gospel Messages packed in these hymnals that is fit to sustain us through life's treacherous journey. I thank God for the writers of these great and wonderful hymns, because now, as an adult, whenever I'm down I know "How sweet the name of Jesus sounds in a believer's ear". Amen🙏🏾

I am ever so thankful to our highschool principal who made us learn, recite, sing and most importantly love the hymns. Every morning she ensured we learned to sing one hymn and this is one of the many that come through for me when going through adulting. God bless the writer of this masterpiece

This song has always being a source of strength and inspiration to me over the years. I learnt it from my Methodist hymnal in church. Over the past few days I find the lyrics keep resounding in my spirit day and night. It's as if am being prepared for something by Him, Jesus, who is that anchor who keeps my soul.
Please help me pray that my anchor holds through every storm , and I for you . 🙏
