Eternal Father strong to save   Whose arm has bound the restless wave   Who bids the mighty ocean deep   It's own appointed limits keep   O hear us when we cry to Thee   For those in Peril on the sea      Oh Christ whose voice the waters heard   And hushed their raging at Thy word   Who walkest on the foamy deep   And how amidst the storm did sleep   O hear us when we cry to Thee   For those in Peril on the sea      [alternate lyrics]   Eternal Father strong to save    Whose arm has bound the restless wave,    Who bids the mighty ocean deep    It's own appointed limits keep,    O hear us when we cry to Thee    For those in Peril on the sea.       Oh Christ, the Lord of hill and plain,    O'er which our traffic runs amain.    By mountain pass or valley low,    Wherever, Lord our brethren go,    Protect them by Thy guarding hand    From every peril on the land      O Spirit, whom the Father sent    To spread abroad the firmament.    Oh wind of heaven, by Thy might    Save all who dare the eagle's flight.    And keep them by thy watchful care    From every peril in the air       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.    That evermore shall rise to Thee,    Glad praise from air and land and sea
