On Joyful Wing ‎#39

39. I’ll Never Let Go the Anchor

1 I’ll never let go the anchor,
Where Jesus hath brought my soul,
But cling to it still with firmness,
Though billow around me roll.

Refrain:
I’ll never let go the anchor,
Though heart and strength may fail;
I’ll never let go, I’ll never let go,
Till gathered within the vale.

2 My anchor that stood for ages,
No changes nor time can more;
‘Twill surely abide forever;
‘Tis fixed on a Saviour’s love. [Refrain]

3 Oh, glory to God! I’m happy;
My trust in his word is strong;
I know that his hand upholds me,
And crowneth my life with song. [Refrain]

4 Oh, glory to God! I’m happy;
I’ll praise him on yonder shore;
For now I can brave the tempest,
And smile when the surges roar. [Refrain]
