C                         F                 C
Eternal Father, strong to save,
G            Am   D     G                 D           G
Whose arm hath bound the restless wave,
                            C           A         D
Who bidd'st the mighty ocean deep
 B  Em   B  Em   D  Em B Em
Its own appointed limits keep;
        C           F              D        G
Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee,
       C        D C      G         C
For those in peril on the sea!

[Verse 2]
C                         F                 C
O Christ! Whose voice the waters heard
G            Am   D     G                 D           G
And hushed their raging at Thy word,
                            C           A         D
Who walked'st on the foaming deep,
 B  Em   B  Em   D  Em B Em
And calm amidst its rage didst sleep;
        C           F              D        G
Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee,
       C        D C      G         C
For those in peril on the sea!

[Verse 3]
C                         F                 C
Most Holy Spirit! Who didst brood
G            Am   D     G                 D           G
Upon the chaos dark and rude,
                            C           A         D
And bid its angry tumult cease,
B  Em   B  Em   D  Em B Em
And give, for wild confusion, peace;
        C           F              D        G
Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee,
       C        D C      G         C
For those in peril on the sea!

[Verse 4]
C                         F                 C
O Trinity of love and power!
G            Am   D     G                 D           G
Our brethren shield in danger's hour;
                            C           A         D
From rock and tempest, fire and foe,
B  Em   B  Em   D  Em B Em
Protect them wheresoe'er they go;
        C           F              D        G
Thus evermore shall rise to Thee
       C        D C      G         C
Glad hymns of praise from land and sea.
