[Verse 1]
C
Christ the sure and steady anchor
F           C
In the fury of the storm;
C                   Am
When the winds of doubt blow through me,
G                   G7
And my sails have all been torn
F                 C
In the suffering, in the sorrow
F                 Am
When my sinking hopes are few
C                Am
I will hold fast to the anchor
G        C     C    Am    F
It shall never be removed.

[Verse 2]
C
Christ the sure and steady anchor
F             C
While the tempest rages on;
C               Am
When temptation claims the battle
G                   G7
And it seems the night has won
F                     C
Deeper still, then, goes the anchor
F              Am
Though I justly stand accused;
C                Am
I will hold fast to the anchor
G        C     C    Am    F
It shall never be removed.

[Verse 3]
C
Christ the sure and steady anchor
F             C
Through the floods of unbelief;
C             Am
Hopeless somehow, o my soul now
G             G7
Lift your eyes to Calvary!
F              C
This my ballast of assurance
F            Am
See His love forever proved;
C                Am
I will hold fast to the anchor
G        C     C    Am     F
It shall never be removed.

[Verse 4]
C
Christ the sure and steady anchor
F                C
As we face the wave of death;
C                Am
When these trials give way to glory
G              G7
As we draw our final breath
F                 C
We will cross that great horizon
F               Am
Clouds behind and life secure;
C                Am
And the calm will be the better
G               C
For the storms that we endure.

F              C
Christ the shore of our salvation
F              Am
ever faithful, ever true;
C               Am
we will hold fast to the anchor
G        C     C    Am     F
It shall never be removed.
