Eternal Father, Strong to Save

1     Eternal Father, strong to save,
        whose arm has bound the restless wave,
        who bade the mighty ocean deep
        its own appointed limits keep:
        oh, hear us when we cry to thee
        for those in peril on the sea.
 
2     O Savior, whose almighty word
        the winds and waves submissive heard,
        who walked upon the foaming deep,
        and calm amid the storm didst sleep:
        oh, hear us when we cry to thee
        for those in peril on the sea.
 
3     O Holy Spirit, who didst brood
        upon the chaos dark and rude,
        and bid its angry tumult cease,
        and give, for wild confusion, peace:
        oh, hear us when we cry to thee
        for those in peril on the sea.
 
4     O Trinity of love and pow'r,
        all trav'lers guard 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 and praise from land and sea.

 
Text: William Whiting, 1825-1878, alt.
