Couplet 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

Refrain 1

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

Couplet 2

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

Refrain 2

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

Couplet 3

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

Refrain 3

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

Couplet 4

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

Refrain 4

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

Refrain 5

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