"Let the winds blow, and billows roll, / Hope is the anchor of the \soul"
Metaphor in Context
Which hope we have as an anchor, &c.
--vi. 19.
Let the winds blow, and billows roll,
Hope is the anchor of the soul:
But can I by so slight a tie,
An unseen hope, on God rely?
Steadfast and sure it cannot fail,
It enters deep within the veil,
It fastens on a land unknown,
And moors me to my Father's throne!

An unseen hope, on God rely?
Steadfast and sure it cannot fail,
It enters deep within the veil,
It fastens on a land unknown,
And moors me to my Father's throne!
