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 is so powerful! It reminds us to constantly ensure that we’re grounded in Christ Jesus so that we can withstand any storms in the day of trouble! I love you Jesus!
It was during my verspas presentation when I had this urge to sing the song and luckily I had WiFi so just searched for the lyrics and it was quite refreshing to sing the song.
oh how I love this song.. I connect with my saviour just by singing this, thank you Lord Jesus.. You are my strong deliverer, my anchor and you hear and answer my prayers.. 😍 ♥
How I love my old Baptist hymns! Been praying and loving the preswnce of God these paat weeks at home and today, I was led to sing some hymns and found this first! Hymns are indeed timeless and always a blessing! I recommend it whenever you're uncertain about issues, your faith will be greatly inspired
After service at home today, as I was about to sit and eat my lunch, the hymn started humming in my spirit the first verse and the chorus. God His great, He speaks to His children per time. Indeed He is the anchor that keeps my soul.
