Almighty Father, Hear Our Cry

lyricist: Edward Bickersteth, 1869
Composer: Edward Miller, 1790

Almighty Fa­ther

hear our cry

As o’er the track­less deep we roam;

Be Thou our hav­en al­ways nigh

On home­less wa­ters Thou our home.

O Je­su

Sav­ior

at whose voice

The tem­pest sank to per­fect rest

Bid Thou the fear­ful heart re­joice

And cleanse and calm the trou­bled breast.

O Ho­ly Ghost

be­neath whose pow­er

The ocean woke to life and light

Command Thy bless­ing in this hour

Thy fos­ter­ing warmth

Thy quick­en­ing might.

Great God of our sal­va­tion

Thee

We love

we wor­ship

we ad­ore;

Our re­fuge on time’s change­ful sea

Our joy on Heav’n’s eter­nal shore.
