Eternal Father, Strong to Save

E-ter-nal Fa-ther, strong to save, Whose arm doth bind the rest-less wave, Who bidd'st the might-y o-cean deep Its own ap-point-ed lim-its keep: O hear us when we cry to Thee For those in per-il on the sea. O Sav-ior, whose al-might-y word The winds and waves sub-mis-sive heard, Who walk-edst on the foam-ing deep And calm a-mid its rage didst sleep: O hear us when we cry to Thee For those in per-il on the sea. O sa-cred Spir-it, who didst brood Up-on the cha-os dark and rude, Who badd'st its an-gry tu-mult cease, And gav-est light and life and peace: O hear us when we cry to Thee For those in per-il on the sea. O Trin-i-ty of love and power, Our breth-ren shield in dan-ger's hour; From rock and tem-pest, fire and foe, Pro-tect them where-so-e'er they go; And ev-er let there rise to Thee Glad hymns of praise from land and sea.
