Eternal Father

Eternal Father strong to save

Whose arms hath bound the restless wave

Who bids the mighty ocean deep

Its own appointed limits keep

Oh hear us when we cry to Thee

For those in peril on the sea

Oh Savior Whose almighty word

The winds and waves submissive heard

Who walked upon the foaming deep

And calm amid the storm did sleep

Oh hear us when we cry to Thee

For those in peril on the sea

Oh sacred spirit who did 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

Oh Trinity of love and power

Your children 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
