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 !
2. O Christ, whose voice the waters heard, And hushed their raging at Thy word, Who walkedst on the foaming deep, And calm amid the storm 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 ! Our brethren shield in danger's hour ; Fro n rock and tempest, fire and foe, Protect them wheresoe'er they go; Thus evermore shall rise to Thee Glad Hymnss of praise from land and sea.
