Hymn 809
Eternal Father, strong to save
- mf Eternal Father, strong to save.
Whose arm hath bound the restless wave.
Who bidd'st the mighty ocean deep
Its own appointed limits keep:
p.cr O hear us when we cry to Thee
di For those in peril on the sea!
- mf 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:
p. cr O hear us when we cry to Thee
di For those in peril on the sea!
- mf 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
p.cr O hear us when we cry to Thee
di For those in peril on the sea!
- f 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;
ff And ever let there rise to Thee
di Glad hymns of praise from land and sea.
Christly Living
