Testo Eternal Father

Eternal Father strong to save
Whose arms hath bound the restless wave
Who bids the mighty ocean deep
Its own appointed limits keep
Oh hear us when we cry to Thee
For those in peril on the sea

Oh Savior Whose almighty word The winds and waves submissive heard
Who walked upon the foaming deep
And calm amid the storm did sleep
Oh hear us when we cry to Thee
For those in peril on the sea

Oh sacred spirit who did 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

Oh Trinity of love and power
Your children 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
