1 Eternal Father, strong to save, Whose arm does 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 Christ, whose voice the water heard, And hushed their raging at Thy word, Who walkedst on the foaming deep, And calm amid the storm didst sleep; O 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; O hear us when we cry to Thee For those in peril on the sea. 4 O Trinity of love and power, Your children shield in danger's hour; From rock and tempest, fire, and foe, Protect them where-so-e'er they go; Thus, evermore shall rise to Thee Glad hymns of praise from land and sea.
