Welcome and Call to Worship

MP 122 Eternal Father

1. 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.
   

2. 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.
   

3. O Holy Spirit, who didst brood
   upon the waters dark and rude,
   and bid their angry tumult cease,
   and give, for wild confusion, peace:
   

   O hear us when we cry to Thee
   for those in peril on the sea.
   

4. 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:
   thus evermore shall rise to Thee
   glad hymns of praise from land and sea.

Hymn MP 498 O God our help in ages past

1. O God, our help in ages past,
   our hope for years to come,
   our shelter from the stormy blast,
   and our eternal home.
   

2. Under the shadow of Your throne
   Your saints have dwelt secure;
   sufficient is Your arm alone,
   and our defence is sure.
   

3. Before the hills in order stood,
   or earth received her frame,
   from everlasting You are God,
   to endless years the same.
   

4. A thousand ages in Your sight
   are like an evening gone,
   short as the watch that ends the night
   before the rising sun.
   

5. Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
   bears all its sons away;
   they fly forgotten, as a dream
   dies with the dawning day.
   

6. O God, our help in ages past,
   our hope for years to come,
   be our defence while life shall last,
   and our eternal home.
