I’ve Anchored in Jesus
Upon life’s boundless ocean where mighty billows roll,
I’ve fixed my hope in Jesus, blest anchor of my soul;
When trials fierce assail me as storms are gathering o’er,
I rest upon His mercy and trust Him more.
Refrain
I’ve anchored in Jesus, the storms of life I’ll brave,
I’ve anchored in Jesus, I fear no wind or wave.
I’ve anchored in Jesus, for He hath power to save,
I’ve anchored to the Rock of Ages.
He keeps my soul from evil and gives me blessèd peace,
His voice hath stilled the waters and bid their tumult cease;
My Pilot and Deliverer, to Him I all confide,
For always when I need Him, He’s at my side.
Refrain
He is my Friend and Savior, in Him my anchor’s cast,
He drives away my sorrows and shields me from the blast;
By faith I’m looking upward beyond life’s troubled sea,
There I behold a haven prepared for me.
Refrain
Words & Music: Lewis E. Jones, 1901 (MIDI, score).

Your comment is so true ellen, the words are more and more precious as we grow deeper in our understanding and relationship with Jesus our anchor. May you have blessed peace today as you travel.
Good morning Ellen B.,

I’m so glad you posted this because I’m not familiar with this hymn. Now I need to look it up. You couldn’t hum a few bars for me, could you? (smile)
What a great post. Love the photo!

Good morning, Lana! I hope you found the tune of this great hymn! I was singing it just after prayer and looked up the lyrics to make sure I remembered them correctly. It is amazing how they have such power to speak to my heart! It is a blessing to have been taught these hymns at a young age! They help me when storms of life press on my soul.
cool pic!!
I just found your blog today. How refreshing.
This song was one of my dear father’s favorites. He would have celebrated his
103rd birthday last March… but is in Glory with mom waiting for us children and grands to come home!
I was looking for the song and ran into our beautiful blog.
Good morning rejoicingmom! Imagine all the things this song applied to in the last twelve years since your post! Blessings!!
