1 Anchor your hope in heaven,
Not on the things of earth,
Set your affections wholly,
Where comes of joy no death.

Refrain:
For where abides your treasures,
There, there your hearts shall be,
And peace beyond all measure,
Waits in eternity.

2 Pleasures of earth are fleeting,
Soon shall our hopes decay,
But in his better country,
Pleasures abide for aye. [Refrain]

3 Sunshine oft turns to shadow,
Smiles change to grief and tears,
But in the many mansions,
There comes no grief nor fear. [Refrain]

4 There be your heart’s best treasure,
Trusting in Christ above,
And when life’s day is ended,
He’ll bear you home in love. [Refrain]
