Eternal Father, Strong to Save

1 Eternal Father, strong to save, Whose arm doth bond the restless wave, Who bids the mighty ocean deep Its own appointed limits keep; O hear us when we cry to Thee For those in peril on the sea. Upon the terrace dark and rude, And bid its angry tumult cease, And give for wild confusion peace; O hear us when we cry to Thee For those in peril on the sea. 3 O Trinity of love and pow'r, Thy children shield in danger's hour; From rock and tempest, fire, and foe, Protect them where-so-e'er they go; Thus, evermore shall rise to Thee Glad hymns of praise from land and sea.
