“An anchor of the soul.” Heb. 6. 18, 19; Tit. 1. 2

1 We travel through a barren land,
  With dangers thick on every hand;
  But Jesus guides us through the vale;
  The Christian’s hope can never fail.

2 Huge sorrows meet us as we go,
  And devils aim our overthrow;
  But vile infernals can’t prevail;
  The Christian’s hope shall never fail.

3 Sometimes we’re tempted to despair,
  But Jesus makes us then his care;
  Though numerous foes our souls assail,
  The Christian’s hope shall never fail.

4 We trust upon the sacred word –
  The oath and promise of our Lord;
  And safely through each tempest sail;
  The Christian’s hope shall never fail.
