1 Eternal Father, strong to save,
whose arm has bound the restless wave,
who told the mighty ocean deep
its own appointed bounds to keep:
O hear us when we cry to thee
for those in peril on the sea.
2 O Christ, whose voice the waters heard
and hushed their raging at your word,
who walked across the surging deep
and gave us life and light and peace:
O hear us when we cry to thee
for those in peril on the sea.
3 Creator Spirit by whose breath
were fashioned sea and sky and earth;
who made the stormy chaos cease
and gave us life and light and peace:
O hear us when we cry to thee
for those in peril on the sea.
4 O Trinity of love and power,
preserve their lives in danger’s hour;
from rock and tempest, flood and flame,
protect them by your holy name,
and to your glory let there be
glad hymns of praise from land and sea.
