Chorus

I’ve anchored my soul in the haven of rest, I’ll sail the wild seas no more; The tempest may sweep o’er the wild, stormy deep, In Jesus I’m safeevermore

I yielded myself to His tender embrace, And faith taking hold of the Word, My fetters fell off, and I anchored my soul; The Haven of Rest is my Lord.

I’ve anchored my soul in the haven of rest, I’ll sail the wild seas no more; The tempest may sweep o’er the wild, stormy deep, In Jesus I’m safe evermore.

How precious the thought that we all may recline, Like John, the beloved and blest, On Jesus’ strong arm, where no tempest can harm. Secure in the haven of rest!”

O come to the Saviour, He patiently waits To save by His power divine; Come, anchor your soul in the haven of rest, And say, “My Beloved is mine.”

I’ve anchored my soul in the haven of rest, I’ll sail the wild seas no more; The tempest may sweep o’er the wild, stormy deep, In Jesus I’m safeevermore.
