The Haven of Rest

My soul in sad exile was out on life's sea

So burdened with sin and distress

'Til I heard a sweet voice saying, "Make Me your choice,"

And I entered 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

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

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

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

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

O 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
