O Mighty God, Creator, King

O migh­ty God

Cre­at­or

King

Who rul­est ov­er sea and land

And dost the ocean deeps sus­tain

Within the hol­low of Thine hand:

O hear us as we cry to Thee

For those who tra­verse land or sea

That they may now and ev­er be

Safe in Thy ho­ly keep­ing.

And Thou who cam’st on earth to breathe

The breath of peace o’er heath and hill

Didst walk up­on the ang­ry wave

And bid the trou­bled sea be still:

O hear us as we cry to Thee

For those who tra­verse land or sea

That they may now and ev­er be

Safe in Thy ho­ly keep­ing.

Wherever dan­ger threat­ens them

O Ho­ly Spir­it

be Thou there

And breathe in­to each trem­bling heart

The will and pow­er of fer­vent pray­er:

That we and all who cry to Thee

With those who tra­verse land and sea

Both now and ev­er­more may be

Safe in Thy ho­ly keep­ing.
