Eternal Father! Strong To Save,
Whose Arm Doth Bind The Restless Wave,
Who Biddest The Mighty Ocean Deep
Its Own Appointed Limits Keep:
O Hear Us When We Cry To Thee
For Those In Peril On The Sea!
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!
O Sacred Spirit! Who Didst Brood
Upon The Chaos Dark And Rude,
Who Badest 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!
O Trinity Of Love And Power!
Our Brethren Shield In Danger’s Hour;
From Rock And Tempest, Fire And Foe,
Protect Them Wheresoever They Go;
And Ever Let There Rise To Thee
Glad Hymns Of Praise From Land And Sea.
