[Verse 1]
C
Christ the sure and steady anchor
F C
in the fury of the storm;
C Am
when the winds of doubt blow through me,
G G7
and my sails have all been torn.
F C
In the suffering, in the sorrow,
F Am
when my sinking hopes are few,
C Am
I will hold fast to the anchor,
G C C Am F
it shall never be removed.
[Verse 2]
C
Christ the sure and steady anchor
F C
while the tempest rages on;
C Am
when temptation claims the battle,
G G7
and it seems the night has won.
F C
Deeper still, then, goes the anchor,
F Am
though I justly stand accused;
C Am
I will hold fast to the anchor,
G C C Am F
it shall never be removed.
[Verse 3]
C
Christ the sure and steady anchor,
F C
through the floods of unbelief;
C Am
hopeless somehow, o my soul now,
G G7
lift your eyes to Calvary!
F C
This my ballast of assurance,
F Am
see His love forever proved;
C Am
I will hold fast to the anchor,
G C C Am F
it shall never be removed.
[Verse 4]
C
Christ the sure and steady anchor,
F C
as we face the wave of death;
C Am
when these trials give way to glory,
G G7
as we draw our final breath.
F C
We will cross that great horizon,
F Am
clouds behind and life secure;
C Am
and the calm will be the better,
G C
for the storms that we endure.
[Tag]
F C
Christ the sure of our salvation,
F Am
ever faithful, ever true;
C Am
we will hold fast to the anchor,
G C C Am F
it shall never be removed.
