(\'Eternal Father, strong to save\')

Psalm 107 v.23-31

**********

They that in ships do go to sea

The LORD\'s wonders of the deep see

For He commands, and He does raise

The stormy wind, yet still Him praise

Wind lifts up the waves and billows

And turbulent crossings each knows

 

They in the ships, their souls troubled

By force of storm and gale appalled

They reel to and fro, as drunken

Men, at their wits end appear then

Then they unto the LORD do cry

And know His presence with them nigh

 

He brings them out of their distress

Makes the storm a calm, does them bless

And then the waves thereof are still

Then they are glad of His good will

For waves be now quiet, He does bring

Them to their haven, thus they sing

 

O that men would praise the LORD for

His goodness, wondrous works for sure

To all His people, land and sea

Whate\'er trade, occupation be

He LORD of all, earth, sea, and sky

Praise to Him due, we not deny
