John Williams Eternal Father Strong To Save Lyrics

Eternal Father, strong to save,
Whose arm has bound the restless wave,
Who bade the mighty ocean deep
Its own appointed limits keep:
O hear us when we cry to Thee,
For those in peril on the sea.

O Savior, whose almighty word,
The wind and waves submissive heard,
Who walked upon the foaming deep,
And calm amidst 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 chaos wild and rude,
And bade its angry tumult cease,
And gave, for fierce confusion, peace:
O hear us when we cry to Thee,
For those in peril on the sea.

O Trinity of love and power,
All travelers guard in danger's hour;
From rock and tempest, fire and foe,
Protect them wheresoe'er they go;
Thus evermore shall rise to Thee
Glad praise from air and land and sea.
