926--Eternal father strong to save
Eternal Father, strong to save,
Whose arm doth bind the restless wave,
Who bidd’st 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 saviour, whose almighty word
The winds and waves submissive heard,
Who walked’st on the foaming deep,
And calm amid its rage didst sleep:
O hear us when we cry to Thee
For those in peril on the sea!
O Sacred Spirit, who didst brood
Upon the chaos dark and rude,
Who bad’st its angry tumult cease.
And gravest light, and life, and peace
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;
And ever let there rise to Thee
Glad hymns of praise from land and sea.
