My Anchor Holds

Martin Appears in 123 hymnals Topics: Hymns for Informal Occasions First Line: Though the angry surges roll Refrain First Line: And it holds, my anchor holds Lyrics: 1 Though the angry surges roll On my tempest-driven soul, I am peaceful, for I know, Wildly tho' the winds may blow, I’ve an anchor safe and sure, That can evermore endure. Chorus: And it holds, my anchor holds; Blow your wildest, then, O gale, On my bark so small and frail; I shall never, never fail. For my anchor holds, my anchor holds. 2 Mighty tides about me sweep, Perils lurk within the deep, Angry clouds o’ershade the sky, And the tempest rises high; Still I stand the tempest’s shock, For my anchor grips the Rock. [Refrain] 3 I can feel the anchor fast As I meet each sudden blast, And the cable, though unseen, Bears the heavy strain between, Through the storm I safely ride, Till the turning of the tide. 4 Troubles almost whelm the soul; Griefs like billows o’er me roll; Tempters seek to lure astray, Storms obscure the light of day, But in Christ I can be bold, I’ve an anchor that shall hold.
