Eternal Father, strong to save,
Whose arm doth bind the restless wave,
Who bid’st the mighty ocean deep
Its own appointed limits keep;
0 hear us when we cry to thee
For those in peril on the sea.
0 Saviour, whose almighty word
The winds and waves submissive heard, Who walkest on the foaming deep,
And calm amid its rage didst sleep:
0 hear us when we cry to thee
For those in peril on the sea
0 sacred Spirit, who did’st brood
Upon the chaos dark and rude,
Who bade’st its angry tumult cease,
And gavest life and light and peace;
0 hear us when we cry to thee
For those in peril on the sea.
0 Trinity of love and power,
Our brethren shield in danger's hour,
From rock and tempest, fire and foe,
Protect them whereso’er they go
And ever let there rise to thee
Glad hymns of praise from land and sea.
