Eternal Father (Swd0228) ()

Eternal Father, strong to save
Whose arm has bound 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
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 did keep
O Trinity of love and power
Our people shield in danger s hour
From rock and tempest, fire and foe
Guard them wherever they may go
Thus evermore shall rise to Thee
Glad hymns of praise from land and sea
