Eternal Father, Strong to Save
"They that do business in great water, may see the works of the Lord, and His wonders in the deep." - Ps 137:23 & 24
VERSE 1
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 of the sea!
VERSE 2
O Saviour, whose almighty word
The winds and waves submissive heard,
Who walked'st on the foaming deep,
And calm amid its rage didst sleep:
O hear us when we cry to Thee
For those in peril of the sea!
VERSE 3
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 of the sea!
VERSE 4
O Trinity of love and pow'r
Our brethren shield in danger's hour;
From rock and tempest, fire and foe,
Protect them wheresoe'er they go;
And ever let there rise to Thee,
Glad hymns of praise from land and sea.
