Verse 1

Christ the sure and steady anchor
In the fury of the storm
When the winds of doubt
Blow through me
And my sails have all been torn

Chorus 1

In the suff'ring in the sorrow
When my sinking hopes are few
I will hold fast to the anchor
It shall never be removed

Verse 2

Christ the sure and steady anchor
While the tempest rages on
When temptation claims the battle
And it seems the night has won

Chorus 2

Deeper still then goes the anchor
Though I justly stand accused
I will hold fast to the anchor
It shall never be removed

Verse 3

Christ the sure and steady anchor
Through the floods of unbelief
Hopeless somehow O my soul now
Lift your eyes to Calvary

Chorus 3

This my ballast of assurance
See His love forever proved
I will hold fast to the anchor
It shall never be removed

Verse 4

Christ the sure and steady anchor
As we face the wave of death
When these trials give way to glory
As we draw our final breath

Chorus 4

We will cross that great horizon
Clouds behind and life secure
And the calm will be the better
For the storms that we endure

Chorus 5

Christ the shore of our salvation
Ever faithful ever true
We will hold fast to the anchor
It shall never be removed
