The Haven Of Rest
I've
anchored my soul in the haven of rest.
I'll
sail the wide seas no more.
The
tempest may sweep o'er the wild, stormy deep;
In
Jesus I'm safe evermore.
My
soul in sad exile was out on life's sea,
So
burdened with sin and distress,
Till I
heard a sweet voice saying,
"Make
Me your choice,"
And I
entered the haven of rest.
I
yielded myself to his tender embrace,
And
faith taking hold of the Word,
My
fetters fell off, and I anchored my soul.
The
Haven of Rest is my Lord.
The
song of my soul, since the Lord made me whole,
Has
been the old story so blest,
Of
Jesus who'll save whosoever will
Have a
home in the haven of rest.
Oh,
come to the Savior.
He
patiently waits to save by His power divine.
Come,
anchor your soul in the haven of rest,
And
say, "My Beloved is mine."
I've
anchored my soul in the haven of rest.
I'll
Sail the wide seas no more.
The
tempest may sweep o'er the wild, stormy deep;
In
Jesus I'm safe evermore.
Henry L. Gilmour, 1837-1920
George D. Moore, 19th Century
Though
You have made me see troubles, many and bitter, You will RESTore my life
again; from the depths of the earth You will again bring me up.
