The BB Hymns

Will Your Anchor Hold  (We Have an Anchor)

Will your anchor hold in the storms of life,
When the clouds unfold their wings of strife?
When the strong tides lift, and the cables strain,
Will your anchor drift, or firm remain?

   We have an anchor that keeps the soul
   Steadfast and sure while the billows roll;
   Fastened to the Rock which cannot move,
   Grounded firm and deep in the Saviour’s love!

Will your anchor hold in the straits of fear,
When the breakers roar and the reef is near?
While the surges rave, and the wild winds blow,
Shall the angry waves then your bark o'erflow?

Will your anchor hold in the floods of death,
When the waters cold chill your latest breath?
On the rising tide you can never fail,
While your anchor holds within the veil.

Will your eyes behold through the morning light
The city of gold and the harbour bright?
Will you anchor safe by the heavenly shore,
When life's storms are past for evermore?

Priscilla Jane Owens - 1882

Underneath The Banner

Underneath the Banner
of the Cross arrayed,
Lord, we ask thy Blessing,
On the Boys' Brigade,
Thou art our Commander,
And Thy soldiers we,
And in Christian warfare
We would honour Thee.

   Underneath the Banner
   of the Cross arrayed,
   Lord, we ask thy Blessing,
   On the Boys' Brigade

In each lowly service,
As on drill parade,
"Duty" be the watchword
of The Boys' Brigade;
Make us ever loyal,
Small or great the foe;
Lead us, Saviour! Lead us,
Everywhere we go.

We will fight for laurels
That will never fade;
For the Holy City,
March The Boys' Brigade;
What we find unholy
In our daily life,
We will try (to) conquer
Help us in the strife.
