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 wild seas no more;
The tempest may sweep o’er the
wild, stormy deep,
In Jesus I’m safe evermore.

I yielded myself to His tender embrace, And faith taking hold of the Word,
My fetters fell off, and I anchored my soul;
The Haven of Rest is my Lord.

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!”

How precious the thought 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!”

O come to the Saviour, He patiently waits To save by His power divine;
Come, anchor your soul in the haven of rest, And say, “My Beloved is mine.”
