My soul in sad exile was out on life's sea So burdened from sin and distress Till I heard a sweet voice, saying, Make Me your choice And I entered the haven of rest 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 But in Jesus I am safe evermore The song of my soul, since the Lord made me whole Has been the old story so blest Of Jesus, who will save whosoever will have A home in the haven of rest 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 But in Jesus I am safe evermore But in Jesus I am safe evermore
