While the surges rave, and the wild winds blow, shall the angry waves then your bark o'erflow? [Refrain] 3 Will your anchor hold in the floods of death, when the waters cold chill your latest breath? On the rising tide you can never fail, while your anchor holds within the veil. [Refrain] 4 Will your eyes behold through the morning light, the city of gold and the harbour bright? Will you anchor safe by the heav'nly shore, when life's storms are past for evermore? [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: WILL YOUR ANCHOR HOLD

"Take Up Your Cross," the Savior Said

Author: Charles W. Everest Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #758 (1995) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Temptation and Conflict Lyrics: 1 "Take up your cross," the Savior said, "if you would my disciple be; take up your cross with willing heart, and humbly follow after me." 2 Take up your cross, let not its weight fill your weak spirit with alarm; his strength shall bear your spirit up, and brace your heart, and nerve your arm. 3 Take up your cross, nor heed the shame, and let your foolish heart be still; the Lord for you accepted death, upon a cross, on Calvary's hill. 4 Take up your cross, then, in his strength, and calmly ev'ry danger brave: it guides you to abundant life and leads to victory o'er the grave. 5 Take up your cross, and follow Christ, nor think till death to lay it down; for only those who bear the cross may hope to wear the glorious crown.

O Christ, Who by a Cross

Author: Shirley Erena Murray Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #766 (1995) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Topics: Temptation of believers First Line: O Christ, who by a cross made peace your sign Lyrics: 1 O Christ, who by a cross made peace your sign, who gives your peace in water, bread and wine: O Spirit Christ who is our spirit's home, teach us the secret of the true shalom. 2 We speak of peace when in our hearts we war and, unforgiving, keep our grudges sore; we promise peace while yet we strive to win, and in our enemy, see not our kin. 3 Two deaths now face the starving and the fed - the blinding bomb, the simple lack of bread; with riches of the earth at our command, from weaponry to welcome, turn our hand. 4 The selfishness which is our human curse, the arsenal of hatred which we nurse - all are dispelled when in our hearts we say: "There is no way to peace: peace is the way." Scripture: Jeremiah 31:27-34 Languages: English Tune Title: SURSUM CORDA
