#85Eternal Father, Strong to Save
Hymn Display
1
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 walk'dst on 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!
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,
All travelers guard in danger's hour;
From rock and tempest, fire and foe,
Protect them whereso'er they go:
Thus evermore shall rise to Thee
Glad hymns of praise from land and sea.
