''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.
