Will your anchor hold in the storms of life

1
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?
  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.
2
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.
3
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.
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.
262

This is the song that always keeps me to my feet. It always prompts me that there will always be light at the end of the tunnel. Its also the Anthem of the Boys Brigade and forever makes me feel like a soldier whenever we sing at any gathering.

This wonderful song was the class song of the Mariner Class of 1963 at Asbury University, Wilmore, Kentucky. In June we will have our 50th reunion and all sing the song together, probably with tears running down our cheeks! The song has reminded me of my true Anchor and I have been held firm in His love for 71 years.
