Eternal Father, Strong To Save


4  5   5   6   6      -6  -6   6
E-ter-nal Fa-ther, strong to save,

  6    7   -8    -7   6    6   -5    6
Whose arm hath bound the rest-less wave,

-4   -5  -5    5   5 6   6   -5
Who bids the might-y o-cean deep

-7   6  -5   5   -6  6  -5    5
Its own ap-point-ed lim-its keep:

5   5   5  -5  -5 -5  -5   6
O hear us when we cry to Thee

 6    6   -6  6  5  -4  4   4
For those in per-il on the sea.

verse 2
O Christ, the Lord of hill and plain
O'er which our traffic runs amain
By mountain pass or valley low:
Where ever, Lord our brethren go,
Protect them by Thy guarding hand
From every peril on the land.

verse 3
O Spirit, whom the Father sent
To spread abroad the firmament:
O wind of heaven, by Thy might
Save all who dare the eagle's flight,
And keep them by Thy watchful care
From every peril in the air.

verse 4
O Trinity of love and power,
Our brethren shield in danger's hour;
From rock and temptest, fir and foe,
Protect them where soe'er they go;
Thus evermore shall rise to Thee
Glad praise from air and land and sea.
