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.

My day is never complete with this song. The words in it are tells us we can never make it in life without our Lord Jesus Christ.
Indeed without Christ life is full of crises.

The last stanza (from my Billy Graham Crusade songbook 1967):
Will your eyes behold through the morning light
The City of gold and the harbour bright
Will you anchor safe by the heav'nly shore
When life's storms are passed forever more.

My best and most inspiring Christian hymn that I enjoyed from my high school days at the Methodist College, Uzuakoli, Nigeria, in the late 1960s. I still hum it and was pleasantly surprised it is online. Keep up the good work!

Very comforting and assuring song. Truly, the Savior's ''love '"is complete when all storms of life shall be over and never to appear again. Thanks for uploading this piece of song.
