Hymn Lyrics Search - Name That Hymn

in heaven mama's won't cry
my anchor still holds

Though the angry surges roll
On my tempest-driven soul,
I am peaceful, for I know,
Wildly though the winds may blow,
I've an anchor safe and sure,
That can evermore endure.
Refrain:
And it holds, my anchor holds:
Blow your wildest, then, O gale,
On my bark so small and frail;
By His grace I shall not fail,
For my anchor holds, my anchor holds.
Mighty tides about me sweep,
Perils lurk within the deep,
Angry clouds o'ershade the sky,
And the tempest rises high;
Still I stand the tempest's shock,
For my anchor grips the rock.
I can feel the anchor fast
As I meet each sudden blast,
And the cable, though unseen,
Bears the heavy strain between;
Through the storm I safely ride,
Till the turning of the tide.
Troubles almost 'whelm the soul;
Griefs like billows o'er me roll;
Tempters seek to lure astray;
Storms obscure the light of day:
But in Christ I can be bold,
I've an anchor that shall hold.


Is this it

I haven't heard this song sung by the Primitive Quartet I would love to thought I have however heard it sung by The Inspirations. Here is the Lyrics to their version.

My Anchor Still Holds as sung by the Inspirations

I have seen many loved ones who've gone on before
to me they so sweetly would say. Hold on a little longer
it will not be long, and my anchor still holds today.

My anchor still holds in the sweet rock of ages
The price for each blessing he paid
Through trials we'll come up as pure gold in that city
And my anchor still holds today.

Transformed in his likeness someday we shall be and Jesus
to me then will say "Come into the joy that is waiting for you"
And my anchor still holds today.

My anchor still holds in the sweet rock of ages
The price for each blessing he paid
Through trials we'll come up as pure gold in that city
And my anchor still holds today.

(repeat chorus)

Tag: And my anchor still holds today...

In Heaven Mama's Won't Cry

I've seen Mama's on their knees at bedside
Brokenhearted they've been left all alone
And the tears she shed falling down on her pillow
Like a river flowing from her eyes.

But in Heaven mama's won't cry, in Heaven nobody will die
God himself shall wipe the tears from their eyes
In Heaven mama's won't cry.

Sad and lonely I watched a mother at graveside
Her soldier boy for his country gave his life
I heard her pray take good care of him Jesus
Til I can join him in that home in the sky.

And in Heaven mama's won't cry, in Heaven nobody will die
God himself shall wipe the tears from their eyes
In Heaven mama's won't cry.

(repeat chorus)

Tag: God himself shall wipe the tears from their eyes
In Heaven mama's won't cry...
