Learned this hymn in Great Lakes, IL (fondly referred to as Great Mistakes for all who have served there in the winter months); sang it for many a Boot Camp graduation; misty-eyed when I hear it today.... To think of all dangers - seen & unseen.... To have had to privilege to behold some of His handiwork... Great people I had the chance to serve with.... I am grateful.... This day, I salute all Veterans. ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ Eternal Father, strong to save Whose arm hath bound the restless wave Who biddst 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 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 family shield in dangers hour From rock and tempest, fire and foe Protect us wheresoever we go Thus evermore shall rise to Thee Glad hymns of praise from land and sea
