1. Eternal Father, strong to save, Whose arm doth bind the restless wave,
Who bid'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 Savior, Whose almighty word the winds and waves submissive heard,
Who walkedst 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.
?
3. Your sacred Spirit, Who didst brood upon the chaos dark and rude,
Who badest its angry tumult cease and gavest light and life and peace:
O hear us when we cry to Thee for those in peril on the sea.
?
4. O mighty God of love and power 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.
