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.

I'm going through a difficult time at the moment. I was praising Him that His love is my rock when I was reminded of this hymn. Wonderfully uplifting.

I am confident that our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ will see you and me through the storms we are facing. I woke up this morning with mercy on my mind. This song "We Have An Anchor" was flooding my soul as I began to Offer up a Sacrifice of PRAISE unto Him in song! Thank You Jesus!

The Anchor is Faith unwavering in the character of the Godhead. That He is able to preserve us through this pilgrim land till we reach the golden shore. Faithful is He.

This song has been ringing in my spirit for the past 2 days eva since I listened to it again on youtube. Am going thru a very rough time in my life n it is soo soothing to know that I have an anchor that keeps my soul. It is steadfast and sure while the billows roll. It is fastened to the rock Jesus that can never be moved. My anchor is grounded firmly and deeply in the Saviour's love. What an encouragement. The following stanzas insist on the doubtless fact that no matter what may come our way, that anchor is firmly grounded in the Saviour's love. Thank You Jesus for being that anchor.

My Mum, Mrs. Eunice Eziregbe Ikpen will always sing this song when we were growing up and I was so familiar with the tune without really knowing the words then. Growing up to know the lyrics, becoming a father of children and needing God's help to go through the storms of life, I find the song lifting my soul to the heavens and giving me confidence to face the challenges of life because indeed in Jesus, "We have an Anchor that keeps the soul...". The hymn itself is self assuring and soul reassuring, and I can be sure to have a great day if I start my day with this song. May God bless the composer and may the song minister to more souls like it did to Mummy and me.
