Author: William Pratt Breed Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #163 First Line: Tossing on the billow Refrain First Line: While the tempest rages Lyrics: 1. Tossing on the billow,
Rocking in the blast,
Sick’ning on the pillow,
Verging t’ward the last.
Refrain
While the tempest rages,
To the Rock of Ages,
I am anchored fast;
While the tempest rages,
To the Rock of Ages,
I am anchored fast.
2. Skies all clad in sable,
Storm clouds scudding past,
Clinging to the cable,
I am anchored fast. [Refrain]
3. Gone each earthly treasure,
Cut away each mast,
Vanished earthly pleasure,
Still I’m anchored fast. [Refrain]
4. Sorrows multiplying,
Prospects overcast,
Weeping, groaning, sighing,
Still I’m anchored fast. [Refrain]
5. Swiftly to my grave-bed,
I am making haste!
Trembling ’neath the death-dread,
Still I’m anchored fast. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Tossing on the billow]
Anchored Fast
