Eternal Father strong to save
Whose arm hath bound the restless wave
Who bid 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 walkedst on 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.

O Holy Spirit who didst brood
Upon the waters dark and rude
And bid their 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
All trav lers shield in danger s hour;
From rock and tempest fire and foe
Protect them wheresoe er they go;
Thus evermore shall rise to Thee
Glad hymns of praise from land and sea.
