Verse 1

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 o'er the wild, stormy deep — in Jesus I'm safe evermore.
