Eternal Father, strong to
save,
Whose arm doth bind the
restless wave,
Who bidd'st the mighty ocean
deep
Its own appointed limits
keep;
O hear us when we cry to
Thee
For those in peril on the
sea.
2
O Saviour, whose almighty
word
The winds and waves
submissive heard,
Who walkedst on the foaming
deep,
And calm amid its rage
didst sleep;
O hear us when we cry to
Thee
For those in peril on the
sea.
3
O Sacred Spirit, who didst
brood
Upon the chaos dark and
rude,
Who badd'st its angry
tumult cease,
And gavest light and life
and peace;
O hear us when we cry to
Thee
For those in peril on the
sea.
4
O Trinity of love and
power,
Our brethren shield in
danger's hour;
From rock and tempest, fire
and foe,
Protect them wheresoe'er
they go;
And ever let there rise to
Thee
Glad hymns of praise from
land and sea.
