My Hope Is a Sturdy and Trustworthy Anchor

When the rising tides of the storms of life assail, My hope abides fastened secure to the Rock. When the chilly waters cause my strength to fail, My heavy anchor and God’s eternal love interlock. When the blasts of fear come near my soul, And the tempest my confidence can defy; My anchor in the daring straits securely hold, And firmly embraced in God’s loving arms am I. My anchor keeps me safely moored in the wind, Strongly tied to the Rock that commands the calm. It keeps my vessel’s hull secure and me within, And never drifts into the waves of a dangerous storm. And when the floods of death make cables strain, The hand of God holds tight against the wave. So my faith in my Savior can fully intact remain, And my hopes I retain secure and my anchor I rave.
