Phil Coulter - For Those In Peril On The Sea lyrics
rate meEternal Father strong to save<br />
Whose arm has bound the restless wave<br />
Who bids the mighty ocean deep<br />
It's own appointed limits keep<br />
O hear us when we cry to Thee<br />
For those in Peril on the sea<br />
<br />
Oh Christ whose voice the waters heard<br />
And hushed their raging at Thy word<br />
Who walkest on the foamy deep<br />
And how amidst the storm did sleep<br />
O hear us when we cry to Thee<br />
For those in Peril on the sea<br />
<br />
[alternate lyrics]<br />
Eternal Father strong to save <br />
Whose arm has bound the restless wave, <br />
Who bids the mighty ocean deep <br />
It's own appointed limits keep, <br />
O hear us when we cry to Thee <br />
For those in Peril on the sea. <br />
<br />
Oh Christ, the Lord of hill and plain, <br />
O'er which our traffic runs amain. <br />
By mountain pass or valley low, <br />
Wherever, Lord our brethren go, <br />
Protect them by Thy guarding hand <br />
From every peril on the land<br />
<br />
O Spirit, whom the Father sent <br />
To spread abroad the firmament. <br />
Oh wind of heaven, by Thy might <br />
Save all who dare the eagle's flight. <br />
And keep them by thy watchful care <br />
From every peril in the air <br />
<br />
O Trinity of love and power, <br />
Our brethren shield in danger's hour.<br />
From rock and tempest, fire, and foe <br />
Protect them wheresoe'er they go. <br />
That evermore shall rise to Thee, <br />
Glad praise from air and land and sea</
