Eternal Father, Strong to Save
1 Eternal Father, strong to save, Whose arm hath bound the restless wave, Who bids the mighty ocean deep– Its own appointed limits keep: O hear us when we cry to Thee For those in peril on the sea. 2 O 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. 3 O Spirit, whom the Father sent To spread abroad the firmament; O 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. 4 O Trinity of love and pow'r, Our brethren shield 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.
