"Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sore and steadfast, and which entereth into that within the veil" (Heb. 6 :19).

Herein is rest:my anchor's cast
"Within the veil," both sure and fast;
For what although a haven lay
To lure me o'er the transient way,
If, while upon its billows tossed,
The hope of landing might be lost ?
But hope is resting by that shore
Where Christ for me has gone before:
And now no waves that round me roll
Can move the anchor of my soul.
How sweet to know they all must cease,
And I shall reach th' abode of peace!
