1. Eternal Father, strong to save,Whose arm doth bind the restless wave,Who bidd'st the mighty ocean deep Its own appointed limits keep; O hear us when we cry to Thee For those in peril on the sea. 2. 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. 3. O Sacred Spirit, who didst brood Upon the chaos dark and rude, Who badd'st 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. 4. 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; And ever let there rise to Thee Glad hymns of praise from land and sea.
