Hymn
His Love Shall Be My Anchor
Words: Hewitt, E. E. (Eliza Edmunds), 1851-1920
Sometimes on stormy waters, The ship of life will ride, And fight its progress onward, Against the wind and tide; But Jesus is my Captain, However fierce the gale; His love shall be my anchor, ‘Twill never, never fail.
Refrain
His love shall never fail me, No, never, never fail me, The precious love of Jesus, Will never, never fail.
Tho’ other helpers leave me, This Friend shall constant be; His blessed Word assures me, He’ll always stay with me; Whatever clouds roll over, Whatever foes assail, The precious love of Jesus, Shall never, never fail. [Refrain]
‘Mid shifting lights and shadows, I still pursue my way, Unto the peaceful Haven, Of everlasting Day; Against all opposition, His power shall prevail; The precious love of Jesus, Shall never, never fail. [Refrain]
