My soul in sad exile was out on life's sea So burdened with sin and distrest Till I heard a 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 But in Jesus I'm safe evermore I yielded myself to his tender embrace And faith taking hold of his word My fetters fell off and I anchored my soul: The haven of rest is my lord 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." The tempest may sweep o'er the wild stormy deep But in Jesus I'm safe evermore But in Jesus I'm safe evermore But in Jesus I'm safe evermore I'm safe in Jesus, yes I am
