HYMN I.

First reading it verse by verse, if necessary.

ETERNAL Father! strong to save,
Whose arm doth bind the restless wave,
Who bidd'st the mighty ocean deep
Its own appointed limits keep :

Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee
For those in peril on the sea!

O Saviour! whose almighty word
The winds and waves submissive heard,
Who walkedst on the foaming deep,
And calm and its rage didst sleep:
Oh, hear us, &c,

O Sacred Spirit! who didst brood
Upon the chaos dark and rude,
Who bad'st its angry tumult cease,
And gavest light and life and peace:
Oh, hear us, &c.

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;
And ever let there rise to Thee

Glad hymns of praise from land and sea.

Church Hymns, 321.

Amen.

Or,

HYMN II.

Он, help us, Lord; each hour of need

Thy heavenly succour give:
Help us in thought, and word, and deed,
Each hour on earth we live !

Oh, help us when our spirits cry
With contrite anguish sore;

And when our hearts are cold and dry,
Oh, help us, Lord, the more!

Oh, help us through the prayer of faith

More firmly to believe !

For still the more the servant hath,
The more shall he receive.

Oh, help us, Jesu, from on high :
We know no help but Thee!
Oh, help us so to live and die

As Thine in heaven to be! Amen.

LORD, our heavenly Father, Almighty and everlasting God, who hast safely brought us to the beginning of this day; Defend us in the same with Thy mighty power; and grant that this day we fall into

HYMN III.

On the waters dark and drear,
Jesus, Saviour, Thou art near;
With our ship where'er it roam,
As with loving friends at home.
Thou hast walked the heaving wave;
Thou art mighty still to save ;
With one gentle word of Peace,
Thou canst bid the tempest cease.

Safely from the boisterous main
Bring us back to port again;
In our haven we shall be,
Jesu, if we have but Thee.
Only by Thy power and love
Fit us for the port above;
Still the deadly storm within,
Gusts of passion, waves of sin.
So when breaks the glorious dawn
Of the Resurrection morn,
When the night of toil is o'er,

We shall see Thee on the shore.

Holy Father, Holy Son,

Holy Spirit, Three in One;

Praise unending unto Thee,

Now and evermore shall be. Amen.

Or,

HYMN IV.

SWEET Saviour! bless us ere we go ;

Thy word into our minds instil,

And make our lukewarm hearts to glow

With lowly love and fervent will.

Through life's long day, and death's dark night, O gentle Jesu, be our Light.

The day is done, its hours have run ;

And Thou hast taken count of all
