MY ANCHOR HOLDS

Words: W. C. Martin
Music: D. B. Towner

(C)Tho' the angry (G)surges (C)roll
On my (F)tempest driven (C)soul,
I am (G)peaceful, for I (C)know,
Wildly (D7)tho' the winds may (G)blow,
I've an (C)anchor (G)safe and (C)sure,
That can ever(G)more en(C)dure

Chorus:
(C)And it holds, my (F)anchor (C)holds,
Blow your (D)wildest, then, O (G)gale
On my (C)bark so small and (F)frail:
By His (D)grace I shall not (G)fail,
For my (C)an(F)chor (C)holds, my an(G)chor (C)holds

(C)Mighty tides a(G)bout me (C)sweep,
Perils (F)lurk within the (C)deep,
Angry (G)clouds o'er shade the (C)sky,
And the (D7)tempest rises (G)high,
Still I (C)stand the (G)tempest's (C)shock,
For my (F)anchor grips the (C)Rock

(C)I can feel the (G)anchor (C)fast,
As I (F)meet each sudden (C)blast,
And the (G)cable, though un(C)seen
Bears the (D7)heavy strain be(G)tween,
Through the (C)storm (G)I safely (C)ride,
Till the (F)turning of the (C)tide

(C)Troubles almost (G)'whelm the (C)soul,
Griefs like (F)billows o'er me (C)roll,
Temptors (G)seek to lure a(C)stray,
Storms ob(D7)scure the light of (G)day:
But in (C)Christ I (G)can be (C)bold,
I've an (F)anchor that shall (C)hold

[Repeat Chorus Twice]
