Eternal Father, strong to save,
Whose
arm hath bound the restless wave,
Who
bid'st the mighty ocean deep
Its
own appointed limits keep;
Oh
hear us when we cry to Thee
For
those in peril on the sea.
2
O
Christ, whose voice the waters heard,
And
hushed their raging at Thy word,
Who
walkedst on the foaming deep,
And
calm amidst its rage didst sleep;
Oh,
hear us when we cry to Thee
For
those in peril on the sea.
3
O
Holy Spirit, who didst brood
Upon
the waters dark and rude,
And
bid their angry tumult cease,
And
give, for wild confusion, peace:
Oh,
hear us when we cry to Thee
For
those in peril on the sea.
4
O
Trinity of love and power,
All
trav'lers shield in danger's hour;
From
rock and tempest, fire and foe,
Protect
them wheresoe'er they go;
Thus
evermore shall rise to Thee
Glad
hymns of praise from land and sea.
