240 Christ, the Sure and Steady Anchor

Christ, the sure and steady anchorIn the fury of the stormWhen the winds of doubt blow through meAnd my sails have all been tornIn the suffering, in the sorrowWhen my sinking hopes are fewI will hold fast to the anchorIt shall never be removedChrist, the sure and steady anchorWhile the tempest rages onWhen temptation claims the battleAnd it seems the night has wonDeeper still then goes the anchorThough I justly stand accusedI will hold fast to the anchorIt shall never be removedChrist, the sure and steady anchorThrough the floods of unbeliefHopeless somehow, O my soul, nowLift your eyes to CalvaryThis my ballast of assuranceSee His love forever provedI will hold fast to the anchorIt shall never be removedChrist, the sure and steady anchorAs we face the wave of deathWhen these trials give way to gloryAnd we draw our final breathWe will cross that great horizonClouds behind and life secureAnd the calm will be the betterFor the storms that we've enduredChrist, the shore of our salvationEver faithful, ever trueWe will hold fast to the anchorIt shall never be removed
