Eternal Father, strong to save Whose arm has bound the restless wave Who bids 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 Christ whose voice the waters heard And hushed their raging at Thy Word Who walkedst on the foaming deep And calm amid the storm did keep O Trinity of love and power Our people shield in dangers hour From rock and tempest, fire and foe Guard them wherever they may go Thus evermore shall rise to Thee Glad hymns of praise from land and sea
