There's Room for You to Anchor

1

There's room for you to anchorWithin the port of rest,Where tempests all are over,And calms no more molest;How sweet to weary voyagers,This precious promise giv'n:There's room for you to anchorSafe in heav'n.

Refrain.

There's room (for you), there's room (for you);There's room (for you), there's room (for you).There's room for you to anchorSafe in heav'n.

2

There's room for you to anchor;The ship is waiting now,—The ship of God's preparing,O ask not Why nor How.His boundless love and mercyNo tongue can ever tell,—If you but trust his promise,All is well.

3

The same dear friends shall meet usThat we have loved below;The same sweet voices greet usAs in the long ago.Then hush! ye murm'ring waters,Ye tempests, cease to blow!I almost hear the musicSoft and low.

4

O heaving, swelling billows,Bear onward to my home!Beyond these dreary headlandsI see its shining dome.There, there my fainting spiritNo more for rest shall sigh;'Tis there I hope to anchorBy and by.
