She was born in Baltimore, USA in 1829 of Scottish and Welsh blood. The author of this hymn, “Will Your Anchor Hold”, is Priscilla Owens. When the waters cold chill our latest breath It will surely hold in the floods of death, Not an angry wave shall our bark o’erflow. Though the tempest rave and the wild winds blow,
When the breakers have told the reef is near It will firmly hold in the straits of fear, It is safely moored, ’twill the storm withstand,įor ’tis well secured by the Savior’s hand Īnd the cables passed from His heart to mine,Ĭan defy the blast, through strength divine. Grounded firm and deep in the Savior’s love.
Steadfast and sure while the billows roll, When the strong tides lift, and the cables strain, When the clouds unfold their wings of strife? Will your anchor hold in the storms of life,
