Author: William Whiting Hymnal: The New Church Hymnal #9 (1976) Topics: God the Father in Nature; God the Father Majesty & Power; God The Father Lyrics: 1 Eternal Father, strong to save,Whose arm doth bind the restless wave,Who bid'st the mighty ocean deepIts own appointed limits keep:Oh hear us when we cry to Thee For those in peril on the sea.2 O Savior whose almighty wordThe winds and waves submissive heard,Who walkedst on the foaming deepAnd calm amidst its rage did sleep:Oh hear us when we cry to Thee For those in peril on the sea.3 O Sacred Spirit, who didst broodUpon the chaos dark and rude,Who bad'st its angry tumult cease,And gavest light and life and peace:Oh hear us when we cry to Thee For those in peril on the sea.4 O Trinity of love and pow'r,Our brethren shield in danger's hour;From rock and tempest, fire and foe,Protect them where-so-e'er they go;And ever let there rise to TheeGlad hymns of praise on land and sea.Amen.
