Eternal Father strong to save |
|
Whose arm has bound the restless wave |
|
Who bids the mighty ocean deep |
|
It's own appointed limits keep |
|
O hear us when we cry to Thee |
|
For those in Peril on the sea |
|
Oh Christ whose voice the waters heard |
|
And hushed their raging at Thy word |
|
Who walkest on the foamy deep |
|
And how amidst the storm did sleep |
|
O hear us when we cry to Thee |
|
For those in Peril on the sea |
|
Eternal Father strong to save |
|
Whose arm has bound the restless wave, |
|
Who bids the mighty ocean deep |
|
It's own appointed limits keep, |
|
O hear us when we cry to Thee |
|
For those in Peril on the sea. |
|
Oh Christ, the Lord of hill and plain, |
|
O'er which our traffic runs amain. |
|
By mountain pass or valley low, |
|
Wherever, Lord our brethren go, |
|
Protect them by Thy guarding hand |
|
From every peril on the land |
|
O Spirit, whom the Father sent |
|
To spread abroad the firmament. |
|
Oh wind of heaven, by Thy might |
|
Save all who dare the eagle's flight. |
|
And keep them by thy watchful care |
|
From every peril in the air |
|
O Trinity of love and power, |
|
Our brethren shield in danger's hour. |
|
From rock and tempest, fire, and foe |
|
Protect them wheresoe'er they go. |
|
That evermore shall rise to Thee, |
|
Glad praise from air and land and sea |
