Though the Angry Surges Roll

Author: W. C. Martin Hymnal: Hymns for the Living Church #311 (1974) Refrain First Line: And it holds, my anchor holds Lyrics: 1 Though the angry surges roll On my tempest-driven soul, I am peaceful, for I know, Wildly though the winds may blow, I’ve an anchor safe and sure That can evermore endure. Refrain: And it holds, my anchor holds; Blow your wildest, then, O gale, On my bark so small and frail; By His grace I shall not fail, For my anchor holds, my anchor holds. 2 Mighty tides about me sweep, Perils lurk within the deep, Angry clouds o’ershade the sky, And the tempest rises high; Still I stand the tempest’s shock, For my anchor grips the Rock. (Refrain) 3 I can feel the anchor fast As I meet each sudden blast, And the cable, though unseen, Bears the heavy strain between; Thro' the storm I safely ride, Till the turning of the tide. (Refrain) 4 Troubles almost 'whelm the soul; Griefs like billows o'er me roll; Tempters seek to lure astray; Storms obscure the light of day: But in Christ I can be bold, I've an anchor that shall hold (Refrain) Scripture: Hebrews 6:19 Languages: English Tune Title: MY ANCHOR HOLDS
