The Anchor Holds Words and music by Lawrence Chewning and Ray Boltz I have journeyed Through the long, dark night Out on the open sea By faith alone Sight unknown And yet His eyes were watching me CHORUS: The anchor holds Though the ship is battered The anchor holds Though the sails are torn I have fallen on my knees As I faced the raging seas The anchor holds In spite of the storm. Ive had visions Ive had dreams Ive even held them in my hand But I never knew They would slip right through Like they were only grains of sand CHORUS I have been young But I am older now And there has been beauty That these eyes have seen But it was in the night Through the storms of my life Oh, that’s where God proved His love to me.

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 Savior’s love. It is safely moored, ’twill the storm withstand, For ’tis well secured by the Savior’s hand; And the cables, passed from His heart to mine, Can defy that blast, thro’ strength divine. Refrain It will surely hold in the Straits of Fear— When the breakers have told that the reef is near; Though the tempest rave and the wild winds blow, Not an angry wave shall our bark o’erflow. Refrain It will firmly hold in the Floods of Death—- When the waters cold chill our latest breath, On the rising tide it can never fail, While our hopes abide within the Veil. Refrain When our eyes behold through the gath’ring night The city of gold, our harbor bright, We shall anchor fast by the heav’nly shore, With the storms all past forevermore. Refrain Priscilla J. Owens,...
Now thank we all our God, with heart and hands and voices, who wondrous things has done, in whom this world rejoices; who from our mothers’ arms has blessed us on our way with countless gifts of love, and still is ours today. 2 O may this bounteous God through all our life be near us, with ever joyful hearts and blessed peace to cheer us; and keep us still in grace, and guide us when perplexed; and free us from all ills, in this world and the next. 3 All praise and thanks to God the Father now be given; the Son, and him who reigns with them in highest heaven; the one eternal God, whom earth and heaven adore; for thus it was, is now, and shall be...
1. When we walk with the Lord in the light of his word, what a glory he sheds on our way! While we do his good will, he abides with us still, and with all who will trust and obey. Refrain: Trust and obey, for there’s no other way to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey. 2. Not a burden we bear, not a sorrow we share, but our toil he doth richly repay; not a grief or a loss, not a frown or a cross, but is blest if we trust and obey. (Refrain) 3. But we never can prove the delights of his love until all on the altar we lay; for the favor he shows, for the joy he bestows, are for them who will trust and obey. (Refrain) 4. Then in fellowship sweet we will sit at his feet, or we’ll walk by his side in the way; what he says we will do, where he sends we will go; never fear, only trust and obey. (Refrain) Text: John H. Sammis, 1846-1919 Music: Daniel B. Towner,...

O Glorious Love 1. In my darkness Jesus found me; Touched my eyes and made me see; Broke sin’s chains that long had bound me; Gave me life and liberty! CHORUS Oh, glorious love of Christ my Lord divine, That made Him stoop to save a soul like mine. Through all my days, and then in heaven above, My song will silence never, I’ll worship Him forever, And praise Him for His glorious love. 2. Oh, amazing truth to ponder; He whom angel hosts attend, Lord of Heaven, God’s Son, what wonder; He became the sinner’s friend! John W....
