Lyrics
My soul in sad exile was out on life?s sea,
So burdened with sin and distressed,
Till I heard a sweet voice, saying,
Make Me your choice;
And I entered the Haven of Rest!
I?ve anchored my soul in the Haven of Rest,
I?ll sail the wide seas no more;
The tempest may sweep over wild, stormy, deep,
In Jesus I?m safe evermore.
I yielded myself to His tender embrace,
In faith taking hold of the Word,
My fetters fell off, and I anchored my soul;
The Haven of Rest is my Lord.
I?ve anchored my soul in the Haven of Rest,
I?ll sail the wide seas no more;
The tempest may sweep over wild, stormy, deep,
In Jesus I?m safe evermore.
