534. Will Your Anchor Hold?

Eb7       Ab     Db   Bbm    Ab    Eb Ab
Will your anchor hold in the storm of life,

Ab       Eb                        Bb7 Eb
When the clouds unfold their wings of strife?

Eb7      Ab           Eb            Eb7    Ab
When the strong tides lift, and the cables strain,

             Ab7  Db        Ab   Eb7 Ab
Will your an-chor drift, or firm re-main?

Ab                     Db    Ab
We have an anchor that keeps the soul

                                     Eb
Steadfast and sure while the billows roll;

Ab                   Ab7   Db  Ab  Db
Fastened to the Rock which can-not move,

                      Db     Ab  Eb7   Ab
Grounded firm and deep in the Sav-ior’s love.


[[Full Lyrics]]

[Verse 1]
Will your anchor hold in the storm 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?

[Refrain]
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 Savior’s love.

[Verse 2]
If ‘tis safely moored, ‘twill the storm withstand,
For ‘tis well secured by the Savior’s hand;
And the cables, passed from His heart to thine,
Can defy the blast, through strength divine.

[Verse 3]
It will firmly hold in the straits of Fear,
When the breakers tell that the reef is near;
Though the tempest rave and the wild winds blow,
Not an angry wave shall our bark o’erflow.

[Verse 4]
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.

[Verse 5]
When our eyes behold, in the dawning light,
Shining gates of pearl, our harbor bright,
We shall anchor fast to the heavenly shore,
With the storms all past forever more.
