Eternal father strong to save
Whose arm does 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

Time, like an ever-rolling stream
Bears all it's children soon away
To fly forgotten as a dream
Dies at the opening of the day
Oh, hear us when we cry to thee
For those in peril here with me

Oh let the darkness shine as light
Make endless nightime to be bright
When fear and sorrows all have passed
Then face to face we'll meet at last
Be still when tears are wiped from men
Whose eyes shall never weep again, weep again, weep again.
