We have an anchor that keeps the soul

Author: Priscilla Jane Owens (1829-1907) Meter: 10.9.10.9 Appears in 158 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 12:27-28 First Line: Will your anchor hold in the storms of life Lyrics: 1 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? Refrain: We have an anchor that keeps the soul steadfast and sure while the billows roll; fastened to the Rock which cannot move, grounded firm and deep in the Saviour’s love! 2 Will your anchor hold in the straits of fear, when the breakers roar and the reef is near? While the surges rage, and the wild winds blow, shall the angry waves then your bark o'erflow? [Refrain] 3 Will your anchor hold in the floods of death, when the waters cold chill your latest breath? On the rising tide you can never fail, while your anchor holds within the veil. [Refrain] 4 Will your eyes behold through the morning light the city of gold and the harbour bright? Will you anchor safe by the heavenly shore, when life's storms are past for evermore? [Refrain] Topics: The Holy Spirit The Church Celebrates - Death and Grieving; Assurance; Funerals general; Heaven Used With Tune: WILL YOUR ANCHOR HOLD

Come into the daylight's splendour, there with joy your praises render to the Lord whose grace unbounded has this royal banquet founded: though all other powers excelling, with my soul he makes his dwelling. 2 Lord, I bow before you lowly, filled with joy most deep and holy, as with trembling awe and wonder all your mighty works I ponder - how, by mystery surrounded, depth no-one has ever sounded, none may dare to pierce unbidden secrets that in you are hidden. 3 Shining sun, my life you brighten, radiance, you my soul enlighten; joy, the best of all our knowing, fountain, swiftly in me flowing: at your feet I kneel, my Maker - let me be a fit partaker of this sacred food from heaven, for our good, your glory, given. 4 Jesus, bread of life, I pray you, let me gladly here obey you; never to my hurt invited, always by your love delighted: from this banquet let me measure, Lord, how vast and deep its treasure; through the gifts your hands have given let me be your guest in heaven.
