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
