Eternal Father, Strong To Save,
Whose Arm Hath Bound The Restless Wave,
Who Biddest The Mighty Ocean Deep
Its Own Appointed Limits Keep:
Oh Hear Us When We Cry To Thee
For Those In Peril On The Sea.
Oh Christ, The Lord Of Hill And Plain
Other Which Our Traffic Runs A Main
By Mountain Pass Or Valley Low:
Wherever, Lord, Our Brethren Go,
Protect Them By Thy Guarding Hand
From Every Peril On The Land.
Oh Spirit, Whom The Father Sent
To Spread Abroad The Firmament;
Oh Wind Of Heaven, By Thy Might
Save All Who Dare The Eagle’s Flight,
And Keep Them By Thy Watchful Care
From Every Peril In The Air.
Oh Trinity Of Love And Power,
Our Brethren Shield In Danger’s Hour;
From Rock And Tempest, Fire And Foe,
Protect Them Wheresoever They Go;
Thus Evermore Shall Rise To Thee
Glad Praise From Air And Land And Sea.
Oh Saviour, Whose Almighty Word,
The Winds And Waves Submissive Heard,
Who Walkedst On The Foaming Deep
And Calm Amidst Its Rage Did Sleep:
Oh Hear Us When We Cry To Thee
For Those In Peril On The Sea.
Oh 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.
