Eternal
Father, strong to save, |
O
Spirit, whom the Father sent |
Whose
arm hath bound the restless wave, |
To spread abroad the firmament, |
Who bids the mighty ocean deep
|
O Wind of heaven, by Thy might |
Its
own appointed limits keep, |
Save all who dare the eagle’s
flight. |
O
hear us when we cry to Thee |
And keep them by Thy Watchful care |
For
those in peril on the sea. |
From every peril in the air. |
|
|
O
Christ, the Lord of hill and plain |
O Trinity of love and power, |
O’er
which our traffic runs amain, |
Our brethren shield in danger’s
hour. |
By
mountain pass or valley low, |
From rock and tempest, fire and foe, |
Wherever,
Lord, our brethren go. |
Protect them whereso’er they go. |
Protect
them by Thy guarding hand |
Thus evermore shall rise to Thee |
From
every peril on the land. |
Glad praise from air and land and sea |
