Eternal Father Strong To Save

Eternal father strong to save
Whose arm hath bound the restless wave
Who bidd'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

O Christ Whose voice the waters heard
And hushed their raging at thy word
Who walked upon 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

O holy spirit Who didst brood
Upon the waters dark and rude
And bid its angry tumult cease
And give, for wild confusion peace
Oh 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 wheresoe'er they go
Thus evermore shall rise to the
glad hymns of praise from land and sea
