1 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!”
CHORUS
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 ever more.
2. 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.
3. 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.”
4. How precious the thought that we
all may recline,
Like John the beloved and blest,
On Jesus’ strong arm, where no
tempest can harm,
Secure in the “Haven of Rest.”
5. Oh, come to the Saviour, He
patiently waits
To save by His power divine;
Come, anchor your soul in the
“Haven of Rest,
And say, “My Beloved is mine.”
