John Bacchus Dykes - Eternal Father, strong to save - текст песни (слова)

Original William Whiting 1860 poem: 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 Thee, 
For those in peril on the sea! 
O Christ! Whose voice the waters heard 
And hushed their raging at Thy Word, 
Who walked'st on the foaming deep, 
And calm amidst its rage didst sleep; 
Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee, 
For those in peril on the sea! 
Most Holy Spirit! Who didst brood 
Upon the chaos dark and rude, 
And bid its angry tumult cease, 
And give, for wild confusion, peace; 
Oh, 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; 
Thus evermore shall rise to Thee 
Glad hymns of praise from land and sea. 

 Alternate Verses: O Christ! Who walked this troubled land, 
And doth our hearts and souls command; 
Oh, bring us peace, now we implore, 
Or lead us to prevail in war! 
Oh give our soldiers strength - And stand 
With those in peril on the land! 
Holy Ghost guide all who fly 
In the dark chaos of the sky, 
Aloft in solitudes of space, 
Uphold them with Thy saving grace! 
Oh, hear us when we lift our prayer, 
For those in peril in the air! 
O Trinity of love and power! 
Our family shield in danger's hour; 
From rock and tempest, fire and foe, 
Protect us wheresoever we go; 
Thus evermore shall rise to Thee 
Glad hymns from air and land and sea.
