The Haven of Rest

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’ll sail the wide seas no more;

The tempest may sweep over wild, stormy, deep

In Jesus I’m safe evermore

I 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

Chorus

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 have

A home in the “Haven of Rest.”

Chorus

O come to the Savior, He patiently waits

To save by His power divine;

Come, anchor your soul in the “Haven of Rest,”

And say, “My Beloved is mine.”
