My life is like a stor­my sea,
Where oft the gales sweep ov­er me;
But when the bil­lows wild­ly roll,
I have an an­chor for my soul.

Refrain

A migh­ty an­chor holds me fast
In ev­ery wild and stor­my blast;
My hope is sure, I am se­cure,
My an­chor holds me fast.

When thro’ the dark and trou­bled night,
I fail to see the har­bor light,
I lift a pray­er above the gale,
And trust the pow­er that cannot fail.

Refrain

Tho’ ma­ny wrecks may strew the shore,
And souls go down to rise no more,
My soul shall live till storms are past:
A migh­ty an­chor holds me fast.

Refrain

The sum­mer­time is draw­ing near,
And soon the skies will all be clear;
And in a peace­ful port at last,
My pre­cious an­chor shall be cast.

Refrain
