For Those in Peril on the Sea

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 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 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
