Eternal Father,Strong to Save Words by William Whiting Music by John B. Dykes Words and Music public domain 643
Eternal Father, strong to saveWhose arm does bindthe restless wave
Who bids the mighty ocean deepIts own appointed limits keep O hear us when we cry to TheeFor those in peril on the sea
O Savior, whose almighty wordThe winds and waves submissive heard
Who walked upon the foaming deepAnd calm amid the rage did sleepO hear us when we cry to TheeFor those in peril on the sea
And bid their angry tumult ceaseAnd give for wild confusion peace O hear us when we cry to TheeFor those in peril on the sea
O Trinity of love and pow’rYour children shield in danger’s hour
From rock and tempest, fire and foeProtect them wheresoe’er they go Thus, evermore shall rise to TheeGlad hymns of peacefrom land and sea
