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
