The original lyrics;

These are the original lyrics:

Eternal Father, strong to save,Whose arm hath bound the restless wave,
Who bidd'st the mighty ocean deepIts own appointed limits keep;Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee,
For those in peril on the sea!O Christ! Whose voice the waters heardAnd hushed their raging at Thy word,
Who walkedst on the foaming deep,And calm amidst its rage didst sleep;
Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee,For those in peril on the sea!Most Holy Spirit!
Who didst broodUpon the chaos dark and rude,And bid its angry tumult cease,
And give, for wild confusion, peace;Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee,For those in peril on the sea!
O Trinity of love and power!Our brethren's shield in danger's hour;From rock and tempest, fire and foe,Protect them wheresoe'er they go;
Thus evermore shall rise to TheeGlad hymns of praise from land and sea.

Honouring those who died at Pearl Harbour, 7 December, 1941.
