Whose arm doth bind the restless wave

Who bidd'st the mighty Ocean deep

It's own apointed limits keep:

Oh! hear us when we cry to Thee

For those in peril on the sea

The winds and waves submissive heard

Who walkedst on the foaming deep

And calm amidst its rage did sleep:

Oh! hear us when we cry to Thee

For those in peril on the sea

Upon the chaos dark and rude

Who badd'st its anger tumult cease

And gavest light and life and peace:

Oh! hear us when we cry to Thee

For those in peril on the sea

Our brethren shield in danger's hour;

From rock and tempest, fire and foe

Protect them where so e'er they go;

And ever let there rise to Thee

Glad hymns of praise on Land and Sea
