1.My soul in sad exile was out on life's sea,So burdened with sin, and distressed,Till I heard a sweet voice saying, "Make me your choice;"And I entered the "Haven of Rest!"Chorus:I've anchored my soul in the "Haven of Rest,"I sail the wide seas no more;The tempest may sweep o'er the wild, stormy deep,In Jesus I'm safe evermore.2.I yield 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. [Chorus]3.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 haveA home in the "Haven of Rest!" [Chorus]4.How 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!" [Chorus]5.O come to the Saviour! he patiently waitsTo save by his power divine;Come, anchor your soul in the "Haven of Rest,"And say, "my Beloved is mine." [Chorus]
