Eternal Father, strong to save, |
|
Whose arm does bind the restless wave, |
|
Who bids 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 Savior, whose almighty word |
|
The winds and waves submissive heard, |
|
Who walked upon the foaming deep, |
|
And calm amidst its rage did sleep; |
|
O hear us when we cry to Thee |
|
For those in peril on the sea. |
|
O Trinity of love and pow'r, |
|
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 Thee |
|
Glad hymns of praise from land and sea. |
