Eternal Father

Eternal Father, strong to save

Whose arm does bind the restless wave

Who bids the mighty ocean deep

Its own appointed limits keep;

O hear us when we cry to Thee

For those in peril on the sea

O Savior, whose almighty word

The winds and waves submissive heard

Who walked upon the foaming deep

And calm amidst its rage did sleep;

O hear us when we cry to Thee

For those in peril on the sea

O Trinity of love and pow'r

Our brethren 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
