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?

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.

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.

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.

This hymn reminds me that my storm in this life will end today. By faith and as I type this it is over. Jesus did it on the sea immediately the storm obeyed. He is still doing it up till today.
Christ is indeed my anchor. He has firmly held me through the storms of my life, patiently waiting for things to calm and for me to come home even when I've sought to drift away from Him. But for Him I couldn't have made it through that trying 6-year period of my life during which I lost my parents and two elder siblings one after the other. Thank You Jesus for Your mercy and love. My anchor You always will be. Thank You!
I have been through some terrible storm of life; death of my sister, death of my father, painful divorce, but I thank God that all through it am still firm on my feet raising His banner and letting his glory be seen, you too can stand, I thank you Lord for being my anchor. in Jesus name amen.
Our assurance as wee boys in the Lifebouys and Boys Brigade in the 1950's and 1960's. This wonderful song uplifted and gave us strength to always do our best as we walk with God.
As I continue to move nearer to my harbour, my anchor grows stronger and my trust in the Lord remains steadfast and sure. God bless all who are in need of God's anchor.
