#85Eternal Father, Strong to Save

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.
