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.

Great hymn, what a Father who is always there for me. My heart will always be at rest in Him.

This one song that has so much helped my move through the storms and tides and strifes of this life. in the year 1998, I was declared a failure in my national diploma course, but sang and prayed this song for almost the whole of a year then God Almighty Himself turned the tides calmed the entire storm till I graduated with an award in the year 2000. it will forever be my song be there strifes and storms or not! I really know I have an ancor in this unyielding and ever living Father.

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.
God richly bless the writer of this hymn. It's really inspiring. It keeps you going and making you build strong faith in God whenever you see yourself with nobody at your help, it tells you God is in control.

This hymn is ever-relevant and the message is so profound it will bless the most hurting of us mortals! As we go through rough patches in this journey called "life," we need to be reassured that Jesus is still in charge of our affairs "For we have not a High Priest Who cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities...." Heb 4:15
He is the Rock that cannot move and therefore we can boldly say 'We have an anchor that keeps the soul!'
