The Choir of St. Mary's Episcopal Cathedral - Eternal Father, Strong to Save

Eternal Father, strong to save
Whose arm hath bound the restless wave
Who bidd'st 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 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

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
