Eternal Father, Strong to Save (Arr. Michael Leighton Jones)

Eternal Father, strong to save Whose arm hath bound the restless wave Who bade the mighty ocean deep Its own appointed limits keep Oh 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 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 O Holy Spirit, who did brood Upon the waters dark and rude And bade their angry tumult cease And gave, for wild confusion, peace Oh hear us when we cry to thee For those in peril on the sea O Trinity of love and power Our kindred shield in danger's hour From rock and tempest, fire and foe Protect them wheresoe'er they go Then evermore shall rise to thee Glad hymns of praise from land and sea
