Eternal Father, strong to save

Author: William Whiting Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 430 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Eternal Father, strong to save, Whose arm doth bind 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. 2 O Saviour, whose almighty word The winds and waves submissive heard, Who walkedst on the foaming deep And calm amid its rage didst sleep: O hear us when we cry to Thee For those in peril on the sea. 3 O sacred Spirit, who didst brood Upon the chaos dark and rude, Who bad'st its angry tumult cease, And gavest light and life and peace: O hear us when we cry to Thee For those in peril on the sea. 4 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; And ever let there rise to Thee Glad hymns of praise from land and sea. Amen. Topics: Special Seasons and Services Travelers; Travelers Used With Tune: MELITA

Angels, crown Him! Rich the trophies Jesus brings; In the seat of power enthrone Him, While the vault of heaven rings: Crown Him! Crown Him! Crown the Saviour King of Kings. 3 Sinners in derision crowned Him, Mocking thus the Saviour's claim; Saints and angels crowd around Him, Own His title, praise His name: Crown Him! Crown Him! Spread abroad the Victor's fame! 4 Hark, those bursts of acclamation! Hark, those loud triumphant chords! Jesus takes the highest station; O what joy the sight affords! Crown Him! Crown Him! King of Kings, and Lord of Lords. Amen.
