Eternal Fa­ther, strong to save,
Whose arm hath bound the rest­less wave,
Who bidd’st the migh­ty ocean deep
Its own ap­point­ed lim­its keep;
Oh, 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 walked up­on the foam­ing deep,
And calm amidst its rage didst sleep;
Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee,
For those in per­il on the sea!

Most 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!

O Tri­ni­ty of love and pow­er!
Our fa­mi­ly shield in dan­ger’s hour;
From rock and tem­pest, fire and foe,
Protect us where­so­e’er we go;
Thus ev­er­more shall rise to Thee
Glad hymns of praise from land and sea.
