There's Room for You to Anchor

1There's room for you to anchor Within the port of rest,
Where tempests all are over,
And calms no more molest;
How sweet to weary voyagers This precious promise giv'n:
There's room for you to anchor Safe in heav'n!

RefrainThere's room for you, there's room for you;
There's room, there's room;
There's room for you to anchor Safe in heav'n.

2There's room for you to anchor;
The ship is waiting now,— The ship of God's preparing,
O ask not why nor how.
His boundless love and mercy No tongue can ever tell,— If you but trust His promise,
All is well.

3The same dear friends shall meet us That we have loved below;
The same sweet voices greet us As in the long ago.
Then hush! ye murm'ring waters,
Ye tempests, cease to blow!
I almost hear the music Soft and low.

4O heaving, swelling billows,
Bear onward to my home!
Beyond these dreary headlands I see its shining dome.
There, there my fainting spirit No more for rest shall sigh; 'Tis there I hope to anchor,
By and by.
