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 you,
For those who from your grace withdrew.

O Saviour, whose almighty word,
The winds and waves submissive heard,
Who walkest on the foaming deep,
And calm amidst its rage did sleep;
O hear us when we cry to you,
For those who from your grace withdrew.

O sacred Spirit, who hover'd
On the earth in darkness covered,
And bid its angry tumult cease,
And give, for wild confusion, peace;
O hear us when we cry to you,
For those who from your grace withdrew.

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;
And even let them raise to you.
Glad hymns of praise sincere and true.
