Author: William Whiting Hymnal: Celebrating Grace Hymnal #14 (2010) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Eternal Father, strong to save,
whose arm doth bind the restless wave,
who bids the mighty ocean deep
its own appointed limits keep;
O hear us when we cry to Thee
for those in peril on the sea.
2 O Savior, whose almighty word
the winds and waves submissive heard,
who walked upon the foaming deep,
and calm amid its rage did sleep;
O hear us when we cry to Thee
for those in peril on the sea.
3 O Holy 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.
4 O 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. Topics: God the Trinity; God-Providence; Nation; Trinity Scripture: Mark 4:35-41 Languages: English Tune Title: MELITA
