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"!
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
In Jesus I’m safe evermore
I yielded myself to His tender embrace
In faith taking hold of the Word
My fetters fell off, and I anchored my soul
The "Haven of Rest" is my Lord
The song of my soul, since the Lord made me whole
Has been the old story so blest
Of Jesus, Who’ll save whosoever will have
A home in the "Haven of Rest."

How precious the thought that we all may recline
Like John, the belovèd so blest
On Jesus’ strong arm, where no tempest can harm
Secure in the "Haven of Rest."
Alternate verse:
O come to the Savior, He patiently waits
To save by His power divine
Come, anchor your soul in the "Haven of Rest,"
And say, "My Beloved is mine."
