My Anchors

God and His Church are anchors here for me,
both universal, all mine, everywhere,
providing Scripture, prayers, and liturgy,
a stream of grace and fellowship to share.

Served in persona Christi by our priest,
our Church His body and our pastor, Christ,
His body too our Eucharistic feast,
our Sacrificer and our Sacrificed.

His heavenly Kingdom is my anchor goal,
on earth His Kingdom Church, my anchor base,
our friendship is the anchor of my soul,
He anchors through His Kingdom with His grace.

In all these ways, O God, I anchor You,
You and Your Kingdom are my anchors true.
