The Haven of Rest

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! (Ps. 107:28-30)

Chorus
I’ve an­chored my soul in the Hav­en of Rest, (Heb. 6:19)
I’ll sail the wide seas no more;
The tem­pest may sweep ov­er wild, stor­my, deep, (Isa. 43:2, Ps. 107:28-29, Matt. 8:23-27, Mark 4:35-41, Luke 8:22-25)
In Je­sus I’m safe ev­er­more.

Verse 2
I yield­ed mys­elf to His ten­der emb­race,
In faith tak­ing hold of the Word,
My fet­ters fell off, and I an­chored my soul; (Heb. 6:19)
The Hav­en of Rest is my Lord. (Ps. 107:28-30)

Verse 3
The song of my soul, since the Lord made me whole, (Matt. 9:22, Matt. 14:36, Matt. 15:28, Matt. 15:31, Mark 5:34, Mark 6:56, Mark 10:52, Luke 8:48, Luke 8:50, Luke 17:19, John 5:4, John 5:6, John 5:9, John 5:11, John 5:14-15, John 7:23, Acts 4:9)
Has been the old sto­ry so blest,
Of Je­sus, who’ll save who­so­ev­er will have (John 3:16, Rom. 10:13, Rev. 22:17)
A home in the Hav­en of Rest. (Ps. 107:28-30)

Verse 4
How pre­cious the thought that we all may re­cline,
Like John, the be­lov­èd so blest, (John 13:23, John 13:25, John 21:20)
On Je­sus’ strong arm, where no tem­pest can harm, (Ps. 46:1-3, Isa. 43:2)
Secure in the Hav­en of Rest. (Ps. 107:28-30)

Verse 5
O come to the Sav­ior, He pa­tient­ly waits
To save by His pow­er di­vine;
Come, an­chor your soul in the Hav­en of Rest, (Heb. 6:19, Ps. 107:28-30)
And say, My Be­lov­èd is mine. (Song of Solomon 2:16, Song of Solomon 6:3)
