Eternal father, strong to save
Author: William Whiting, 1825-1878 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 443 hymnals Topics: God Images (Father) Lyrics: 1 Eternal Father, strong to save,
whose arm hath bound the restless wave,
who bade the mighty ocean deep
its own appointed limits keep:
oh 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 upon the foaming deep
and calm amid the storm didst sleep:
oh hear us when we cry to thee
for those in peril on the sea.
3 O Holy Spirit, who did brood
Upon the waters dark and rude,
and bade their angry tumult cease,
and gave, for wild confusion, peace:
oh hear us when we cry to thee
for those in peril on the sea.
4 O Trinity of love and power,
our kindred shield in danger's hour;
from rock and tempest, fire and foe,
protect them wheresoe'er they go;
then evermore shall rise to thee
glad hymns of praise from land and sea. Scripture: Genesis 1:2 Used With Tune: MELITA

This Is My Father's World
Author: Maltbie D. Babcock, 1858-1901 Hymnal: Lift Up Your Hearts #21 (2013) Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Topics: God As Father Lyrics: 1 This is my Father’s world,
and to my listening ears
all nature sings, and round me rings
the music of the spheres.
This is my Father’s world;
I rest me in the thought
of rocks and trees, of skies and seas;
his hand the wonders wrought.
2 This is my Father’s world;
the birds their carols raise;
the morning light, the lily white,
declare their Maker’s praise.
This is my Father’s world;
he shines in all that’s fair.
In the rustling grass I hear him pass;
he speaks to me everywhere.
3 This is my Father’s world;
oh, let me not forget
that, though the wrong seems oft so strong,
God is the Ruler yet.
This is my Father’s world;
why should my heart be sad?
The Lord is King, let the heavens ring!
God reigns; let the earth be glad. Scripture: Genesis 1:28 Languages: English Tune Title: TERRA BEATA
