1.	Eternal Father, strong to save, 
	Whose arm has bound the restless wave, 
	Who bid 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 Savior, whose almighty word 
	The wind and waves submissive heard, 
	Who walked upon the foaming deep, 
	And calm amid its rage did sleep: 
	O hear us when we cry to thee 
	For those in peril on the sea. 

3.	O Holy Spirit, who did brood 
	Upon the chaos wild and rude, 
	and bid its angry tumult cease, 
	and gave, for fierce confusion, peace: 
	O hear us when we cry to thee 
	For those in peril on the sea. 

4.	O Trinity of love and power, 
	All travelers guard 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. 

(As in #538 of The Methodist Hymnal):
1.	Eternal Father, strong to save, 
	Whose arm hath bound the restless wave, 
	Who bidst 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, 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. 

3.	O Holy Spirit, who didst brood 
	Upon the waters dark and rude, 
	and bid their angry tumult cease, 
	and give, for wild confusion, peace: 
	O hear us when we cry to thee 
	For those in peril on the sea. 

4.	O Trinity of love and power, 
	All travelers guard in danger's hour; 
	From rock and tempest, fire and foe, 
	Protect them wheresoe'er they go: 
	Thus evermore shall rise to thee 
	Glad hymns of praise from land and sea.
