\u2018Will your anchor hold\u2019 is perhaps Priscilla J. Owens most famous hymn, who was inspired by the Epistle to the Hebrews<\/a>, Chapter 6, Verse 19 from the New Testament. The 19th century Sunday teacher Owens also wrote the hymn \u2018 Jesus Saves\u2019<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

William J. Kirkpatrick<\/a> (1838\u20131921) composed the music.<\/p>\n

The hymn has always been closely associated with the\u00a0 Boys\u2019 Brigade<\/a><\/p>\n

Did you know it is the official hymn the private Scottish school\u00a0 Dollar Academy<\/a>, where it is known as the \u2018Dollar Anthem\u2019?<\/p>\n

\u2018Will Your Anchor Hold\u2019 lyrics<\/h2>\n\nWill your anchor hold in the storms of life,<br\/>\nwhen the clouds unfold their wings of strife?<br\/>\nWhen the strong tides lift, and the cables strain,<br\/>\nwill your anchor drift, or firm remain?<\/p>\nRefrain:<br\/>\nWe have an anchor that keeps the soul<br\/>\nsteadfast and sure while the billows roll;<br\/>\nfastened to the Rock which cannot move,<br\/>\ngrounded firm and deep in the Saviour\u2019s love!<\/p>\n2 Will your anchor hold in the straits of fear,<br\/>\nwhen the breakers roar and the reef is near?<br\/>\nWhile the surges rage, and the wild winds blow,<br\/>\nshall the angry waves then your bark o\u2019erflow? [Refrain]<\/p>\nWill your anchor hold in the floods of death,<br\/>\nwhen the waters cold chill your latest breath?<br\/>\nOn the rising tide you can never fail,<br\/>\nwhile your anchor holds within the veil. [Refrain]<\/p>\nWill your eyes behold through the morning light<br\/>\nthe city of gold and the harbour bright?<br\/>\nWill you anchor safe by the heavenly shore,<br\/>\nwhen life\u2019s storms are past for evermore?
