Eternal Father! strong to save

Author: W. Whiting Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #258 (1920) Topics: The Church Travelers Lyrics: 1 Eternal Father! strong to save, Whose arm hath bound the restless wave, Who bid'st the mighty ocean deep Its own appointed limits keep: O hear us when we cry to Thee, For those in peril on the sea! 2 O Christ! Whose voice the waters heard And hushed their raging at Thy word, Who walked'st on the foaming deep, And calm amidst its rage didst sleep; O hear us when we cry to Thee For those in peril on the sea! 3 Most Holy Spirit! Who didst brood Upon the chaos dark and rude, And bid its angry tumult cease, And give, for wild confusion, peace; O hear us when we cry to Thee For those in peril on the sea! 4 O Trinity of love and power! 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.

O Maker of the sea and sky

Author: H. Burton Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #259 (1920) Topics: The Church Travelers Lyrics: 1 O Maker of the sea and sky, Whose word the stormy winds fulfill, On the wide ocean Thou art nigh, Bidding these hearts of ours be still! 2 What if Thy footsteps are not known? We know Thy way is in the sea; We trace the shadow of Thy throne, Constant amid inconstancy. 3 Thou bidd'st the north or south wind blow; The lonely sea-bird is Thy care; And in the clouds which come and go, We see Thy chariots everywhere. 4 The sun that lights the home-land dear Spreads the new morning o'er the deep; And in the dark Thy stars appear, Keeping their watches while we sleep. 5 Our friends seem nearer when Thou art nigh; And homeless on the ocean foam, Beneath an ever-changing sky, With Thee we are at rest, at home. 6 And so, secure from all alarms, Thy seas beneath, Thy skies above, Clasped in the everlasting arms, We rest in thine unslumbering love.

Safe upon the billowy deep

Author: H. Coppe Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #260 (1920) Topics: The Church Travelers Lyrics: 1 Safe upon the billowy deep, Loving Lord, Thy servants keep; Helpless, trusting pilgrims they, Guard them on their watery way. 2 In the morning fill their sails, 'Mid the dark send favouring gales; If their sky be overcast, Calm the waves, and still the blast. 3 Let Thy sunshine guide by day; Send at eve the starry ray; Through the watches of the night, Be Thou, Lord, their shining light. 4 Thus as hour by hour rolls by Watch them with Thy sleepless eye: Guide with Thine almighty hand Safe unto the haven-land. 5 And at last, life's voyage o'er, Take us to the heavenly shore, Safe in port, to dwell with Thee Where there shall be "no more sea."

Fierce was the wild billow

Author: J. M. Neale; St. Anatolius Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #261 (1920) Topics: The Church Travelers Lyrics: 1 Fierce was the wild billow, Dark was the night; Oars labour'd heavily; Foam glimmer'd white; Trembled the mariners; Peril was nigh; Then said the God of God, "Peace! it is I. Peace! it is I." 2 Ridge of the mountain wave, Lower thy crest! Wail of Euroclydon, Be Thou at rest! Sorrow can never be, Darkness must fly, Where saith the Light of Light, "Peace! It is I." 3 Jesus, Deliverer, Come Thou to me; Soothe Thou my voyaging Over life's sea: Thou, when the storm of death Roars, sweeping by, Whisper, O Truth of Truth, "Peace! It is I."

With the sweet word of peace

Author: G. Watson Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #262 (1920) Topics: The Church Travelers Lyrics: 1 With the sweet word of peace We bid our brethren go; Peace as a river to increase, And ceaseless flow. 2 With the calm word of prayer We earnestly commend Our brethren to Thy watchful care, Eternal Friend! 3 With the dear word of love We give our brief farewell; Our love below, and Thine above, With them shall dwell. 4 With the strong word of faith We stay ourselves on Thee, That Thou, O Lord, in life and death, Their help shalt be; 5 Then the bright word of hope Shall on our parting gleam, And tell of joys beyond the scope Of earth-born dream. 6 Farewell! in hope and love, In faith, and peace, and prayer; Till He Whose home is ours above, Unite us there.

Let the song go round the earth

Author: S. G. Stock Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #264 (1920) Topics: The Church Travelers Lyrics: 1 Let the song go round the earth, Jesus Christ is Lord! Sound His praises tell His worth, Be His Name adored; Every clime and every tongue Join the grand, the glorious song! 2 Let the song go round the earth, From the eastern sea, Where the day-light has its birth, Glad, and bright, and free! China's millions join the strains, Waft them on to India's plains. 3 Let the song go round the earth! Lands where Islam's sway Darkly broods o'er home and hearth, Cast their bonds away! Let His praise from Afric's shore Rise and swell her wide lands o'er. 4 Let the song go round the earth! Where the summer smiles; Let the notes of holy mirth Break from distant isles! Inland forest, dark and dim, Icebound coasts give back the hymn. 5 Let the song go round the earth, Jesus Christ is King! With the story of His worth Let the whole world ring! Him creation all adore Evermore and evermore. Languages: English Tune Title: MOEL LLYS
