GRH 088 Eternal Father, Strong to Save

(1)
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.

(2)
O Saviour, whose almighty word
The winds and waves submissive heard,
Who walked’st on 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.

(3)
O Holy Spirit, who didst brood
Upon the waters dark and rude,
And bid their angry tumult cease,
And give for wild confusion peace;
O hear us when we cry to Thee
For those in peril on the sea.

(4)
O Trinity of love and power,
Our brethren shield in danger’s hour,
From rock and tempest, fire, and foe,
Protect them where so e’er they go;
Thus, evermore shall rise to Thee
Glad hymns of praise from land and sea.
