The Cross Is My Anchor

Tho’ waves dash around me

No dan­ger I fear;

A bright star is shin­ing

Life’s ocean to cheer;

I heed not the bil­lows

For still I can sing;

The cross is my an­chor

And there will I cling.

There will I cling

There will I cling;

The cross is my an­chor

And there I will cling;

Oh

soon in the har­bor

At rest I will sing;

The cross is my an­chor

And Je­sus my king.

Tho’ waves dash around me

And loud thun­ders roll

The Lord is the re­fuge

And strength of my soul;

I dread not the tem­pest

For still I can sing

The cross is my an­chor

And there will I cling.

Tho’ waves dash around me

And wild is the gale

Tho’ spars may be brok­en

And shat­tered the sail

No storms can ap­pall me

For still I can sing

The cross is my an­chor

And there will I cling.

Tho’ waves dash around me

Yet

onward I go

Since Je­sus has pro­mised

They shall not o’er­flow;

I smile at their rag­ing

For still I can sing

The cross is my an­chor

And there will I cling.

There will I cling

There will I cling;

The cross is my an­chor

And there I will cling;

Oh

soon in the har­bor

At rest I will sing;

The cross is my an­chor

And Je­sus my king.

Tho’ waves dash around me

And loud thun­ders roll

The Lord is the re­fuge

And strength of my soul;

I dread not the tem­pest

For still I can sing

The cross is my an­chor

And there will I cling.

Tho’ waves dash around me

And wild is the gale

Tho’ spars may be brok­en

And shat­tered the sail

No storms can ap­pall me

Tho’ waves dash around me

Since Je­sus has pro­mised
