Eternal Father, strong to save Whose arm hath bound 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 Christ, whose voice the waters heard, And hushed their raging at thy word Who walkedst on the foaming deep And calm amid the storm didst sleep: O hear us when we cry to thee For those in peril on the sea.
O Holy Spirit, who didst brood Upon the chaos dark and rude And bid the angry tumult cease And give for wild confusion 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 wheresoe'er they go: O hear us when we cry to thee For those in peril on the sea.
