Sheet music

  1. 1My soul in sad exile was out on life's sea,So burdened with sin and distressed,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.
  2. 2I yielded myself to His tender embrace,In 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.
  3. 3The song of my soul, since the Lord made me whole,Has been the old story so blest,Of Jesus, who'll save whosoever will haveA 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.
  4. 4How precious the tho't that we all may recline,Like John, the beloved and blest,On Jesus' strong arm, where no tempest can harm,Secure 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.
