Who bade the mighty ocean deep,

Its own appointed limits keep:

Oh, hear us when we cry to thee

For those in peril upon the sea.

2. O Savior, whose mighty word

The winds and waves submissive heard,

Who walked upon the foaming deep,

And calm amid the storm didst sleep:

Oh, hear us when we cry to thee

For those in peril upon the sea.

3. O 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 upon the sea.

4. O Trinity of love and pow’r,

All travelers guard in danger’s hour

From rock and tempest, fire and foe,

Protect them when where-soe’er they go;

Thus evermore shall rise to thee

Glad hymns and praise from land and sea.
