Once up­on the tide I drift­ed,
With no guide to yon­der shore;
But I’ve found a side once rift­ed,
Where I’m safe for­ev­er­more.

Refrain

I am an­chored, safe­ly an­chored,
Anchored nev­er more to roam,
Anchored by the side of Je­sus,
Anchored in the soul’s bright home.

Let the storms sweep o’er life’s ocean,
They can do me no more harm;
Anchored far from their com­mo­tion,
I am rest­ing ’neath His arm.

Refrain

Here my peace flows like a riv­er,
Here my soul o’er­flows with song;
Prayer and prais­es to the Giv­er,
Fill my glad heart all day long.

Refrain

When this life be­low is ended,
I shall anc­hor on that shore;
Where my prais­es will be blend­ed,
With ten thou­sand, thou­sand more.

Refrain
