Eternal Father, strong to save, whose arm doth bind the restless wave, who bidd'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.
O Saivour, whose almighty word the winds and waves submissive heard, who walkedst on the foaming deep, and calm amind its rage didst sleep: O hear us when we cry to thee for those in peril on the sea.
O sacred Spirit, who didst brood upon the chaos dark and rude, who bad'st 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.
O Trinity of love and power, our brethren shield in danger's hour; from rock and tempest, fire and foe, protect them whereso'er they go: and ever let there rise to thee glad hymns of praise from land and sea. William Whiting (1825-1878)
