We Have an Anchor
Author: Priscilla J. Owens, 1829-1907 Appears in 143 hymnals Topics: The Christian Way of Life Assurance and Trust First Line: Will your anchor hold in the storms of life Refrain First Line: We have an anchor that keeps the soul Lyrics: 1 Will your anchor hold in the storms of life,
When the clouds unfold their wings of strife?
When the strong tides lift, and the cables strain,
Will your anchor drift, or firm remain?
Refrain:
We have an anchor that keeps the soul
Steadfast and sure while the billows roll,
Fastened to the Rock which cannot move,
Grounded firm and deep in the Saviour’s love.
2 It is safely moored, ’twill the storm withstand,
For ’tis well secured by the Saviour’s hand;
And the cables, passed from His heart to mine,
Can defy that blast, thro’ strength divine. (Refrain)
3 It will firmly hold in the straits of fear,
When the breakers have told that the reef is near;
Though the tempest rave and the wild winds blow,
Not an angry wave shall our bark o’erflow. (Refrain)
4 When our eyes behold through the gath’ring night
The city of gold, our harbor bright,
We shall anchor fast by the heav’nly shore,
With the storms all past forevermore. (Refrain) Used With Tune: [Will your anchor hold in the storms of life]

E'en to the end, whate'er befall;
Through life, in death, eternally,
Thou art my All.

Steps unto heaven;
All that Thou sendest me
In mercy given;
Angels to beckon me
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee.
4 Then, with my waking thoughts
Bright with Thy praise,
Out of my stony griefs,
Bethel I'll raise;
So by my woes to be
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee.
5 Or if on joyful wing,
Cleaving the sky,
Sun, moon, and stars forgot,
Upwards I fly,
Still all my song shall be,
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee.
Amen. Used With Tune: BETHANY

In Heavenly Love Abiding
Author: Anna L. Waring, 1820-1910 Appears in 566 hymnals Topics: The Christian Way of Life Assurance and Trust Lyrics: 1 In heavenly love abiding,
No change my heart shall fear;
And safe is such confiding,
For nothing changes here.
The storm may roar without me,
My heart may low be laid,
But God is round about me--
And can I be dismayed?
2 Wherever He may guide me,
No want shall turn me back;
My Shepherd is beside me,
And nothing can I lack.
His wisdom ever waketh,
His sight is never dim;
He knows the way He taketh,
And I will walk with Him.
3 Green pastures are before me,
Which yet I have not seen;
Bright skies will soon be o'er me,
Where darkest clouds have been.
My hope I cannot measure;
The path to life is free;
My Saviour has my treasure,
And He will walk with me.
Amen. Used With Tune: SEASONS

To be happy in Jesus,
But to trust and obey.

Not a sigh nor a tear,
Can abide while we trust and obey. (Refrain)

The delights of His love
Until all on the altar we lay;
For the favor He shows
And the joy He bestows,
Are for them who will trust and obey. (Refrain)

We will sit at His feet,
Or we’ll walk by His side in the way;
What He says we will do,
Where He sends we will go--
Never fear, only trust and obey. (Refrain) Used With Tune: [When we walk with the Lord]

Master, No Offering
Author: Edwin P. Parker, 1836-1925 Appears in 119 hymnals Topics: The Christian Way of Life Stewardship and Service Lyrics: 1 Master, no offering,
Costly and sweet,
May we, like Magdalene,
Lay at Thy feet;
Yet may love's incense rise,
Sweeter than sacrifice,
Dear Lord, to Thee,
Dear Lord, to Thee.
2 Daily our lives would show
Weakness made strong,
Toilsome and gloomy ways
Brightened with song;
Some deeds of kindness done,
Some souls by patience won,
Dear Lord, to Thee,
Dear Lord, to thee.
3 Some word of hope for hearts
Burdened with fears,
Some balm of peace for eyes
Blinded with tears:
Some dews of mercy shed,
Some wayward footstep led,
Dear Lord, to Thee,
Dear Lord, to Thee.
4 Thus, in Thy service, Lord,
Till eventide
Closes the day of life,
May we abide!
And when earth's labors cease,
Bid us depart in peace,
Dear Lord, to Thee,
Dear Lord, to Thee.
Amen. Used With Tune: LOVE'S OFFERING
Master, No Offering
