Eternal Father, strong to save
Whose arm hath bound the restless wave
Who bidd'st 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 didst sleep
O hear us when we cry to Thee
For those in peril on the sea
O Holy Spirit, who didst brood
Upon the waters dark and rude
And bid their angry tumult cease
And give, for wild confusion, peace
O hear us when we cry to Thee
For those in peril on the sea

O Trinity of love and power
Our brethren shield in danger's hour
From rock and tempest, fire and foe
Protect them wheresoe'er they go
Thus evermore shall rise to Thee
Glad hymns of praise from land and sea
