THE NAVY HYMN

Make the most of this. The way the current government is going, we may not have a Navy to speak of much longer.

Eternal Father, strong to save

Whose arm hath bound the restless wave

Who bidd'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.

O Christ, whose voice the waters heard,

And hushed their raging at thy word

Who walkedst on the foaming deep

And calm amid the storm didst sleep:

O hear us when we cry to thee

For those in peril on the sea.

O Holy Spirit, who didst brood

Upon the chaos dark and rude

And bid the angry tumult cease

And give for wild confusion peace:

O hear us when we cry to thee

For those in peril on the sea.

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:

O hear us when we cry to thee

For those in peril on the sea.
