Lyrics Eternal Father - Military Wives

Eternal Father

Eternal Father, strong to save
Whose arm does bind the restless wave
Who bids the mighty ocean deep
Its own appointed limits keep;
O hear us when we cry to Thee
For those in peril on the sea
O Savior, whose almighty word
The winds and waves submissive heard
Who walked upon the foaming deep
And calm amidst its rage did sleep;
O hear us when we cry to Thee
For those in peril on the sea
O Trinity of love and pow’r
Our brethren shield in danger’s hour;
From rock and tempest, fire, and foe
Protect them wheresoe’er they go;
Thus, evermore shall rise to Thee
Glad hymns of praise from land and sea
