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.

I bless the Lord for the composer of this great song. I first heard it at a branch of my church, Assemblies of God Church and just about a year later when I had issues with my relationship, the Lord brought the song back to my memory. I looked it up on the net and found it. My life has never remained the same afterwards. I call up the song each time I am weary and I get inspiration. Praise the Lord!
In my Christian life, nothing has been worthy than being at the feet of Christ and listening from Him speak to me through hymns songs. This song has been my best renditions in my Christian journey to heaven. Having lost all my parents at an early age, the church became my parent. When I got converted into ths new family, I heard ths song first. It keeps giving me hope of a new heaven and a new earth where there will be no pain, death or hunger. May our lives be a testimony unto others. Amen!
I came across this hymn on a CD "Men of Faith: Mandate". It's from a men's conference in Belfast led by Robin Mark. I was so inspired by it.....and it was new hymn to me!! Thank you for this site that provides the guitar chords.
This song has always been a source of inspiration to me since I learnt it 34 years ago. I came to this site today looking for the lyrics to be used in our first service in February. Thank God for the life of the composer and the brethren that has made it freely available. God bless you all.
I am a Methodist from Hastings E Sussex and have lived in Zambia since 1965. On my small holding we have a project for needy kids and their families. The children in the neighbourhood come to have lessons in literacy and have a high protein meal 6 days a week. We start with an assembly where they sing and learn poems and rhymes. This hymn is one of their favourites and they play tambourines when the sing the chorus.
Hilary, from Leeds. Don't give up. I am a leader of a Boys Brigade group in New Zealand, and there has been a resurgence of interest in Boys Brigade recently. Keep praying for our youth!
I learnt this song at elementary school. The song lifts my spirit any time I am down and I see challenges in front of me. It has been such an inspirational song for me and as a committed Methodist, I enjoy singing it with my own voice.
