The Navy HymnEternal Father, strong to save
Whose
arm hath bound the restless wave
Who bidd'st 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 Christ, whose voice the waters heard,
And hushed their raging at
thy word
Who walkedst on the foaming deep
And calm amid the storm
didst sleep:
O hear us when we cry to thee
For those in peril on the
sea.
O Holy Spirit, who didst brood
Upon the chaos dark and rude
And
bid the angry tumult cease
And give for wild confusion peace:
O hear
us when we cry to thee
For those in peril on the sea.
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:
O hear us when we cry to thee
For those in peril on the
sea. |
