Words: W.C. Martin (1902) Music: Daniel B. Towner (1902) [Verse 1] N.C. Tho' the angry surges roll
Bb    Eb             Bb
On my tempest driven soul,

     F7             Bb
I am peaceful for I know,

       C7                 F
Wildly tho' the winds may blow,

F7      Bb     F        Bb
I've an anchor safe and sure,

Cm       Bb   F7   Bb   F  Bb
That can ev - er - more en-dure.
[Refrain]
F7     Bb    Cm7 Bb   Eb   Bb    F7 Bb
And it holds my  an - chor holds;

          F
Blow your wildest, then, O gale,

F7    Bb   F7  Bb        Eb
On my bark so  small and frail.

By His grace I shall not fail,

For my an -   chor    holds,

[Verse 2] N.C. Mighty tides about me sweep;
Bb     Eb               Bb
Perils lurk with-in the deep;

      F7                    Bb
Angry clouds o'er-shade the sky,

        C7            F
And the tempest rises high.

F7      Bb        F         Bb
Still I stand the tempest's shock,

For my an-chor grips the Rock.
[Refrain]

[Verse 3] N.C. I can feel the anchor fast
Bb   Eb               Bb
As I meet each sudden blast,

        F7             Bb
And the cable, tho' un-seen,

          C7              F
Bears the heavy strain be-tween.

F7        Bb      F      Bb
Thro'bthe storm I safely ride,

Cm       Bb   F7  Bb F   Bb
Till the turn-ing of the tide.
[Refrain]

On my bark so  small and frail.

[Verse 4] N.C. Troubles almost 'whelm the soul;
Bb          Eb              Bb
Griefs like billows o'er me roll;

        F7             Bb
Tempers seek to lure a-stray;

          C7                 F
Storms ob-scure the light of day.

F7     Bb       F      Bb
But in Christ I can be bold;

Cm      Bb F7   Bb   F     Bb
I've an an-chor that shall hold.

And it holds my  an - chor holds;

Blow your wildest, then, O gale,

F7    Bb   F7  Bb        Eb
On my bark so  small and frail.

By His grace I shall not fail,
