This version of “Eternal Father” is quoted in the movie “Titanic”
, blessing travel in the sea in the first verse, on the land in the second verse (referencing Psalm 50), in the air in the third verse, and referencing Genesis in the fourth. This hymn is usually known as the Navy Hymn, so visiting U.S. navy military websites may help. Unfortunately I cannot access such sites from my location. Please be kind to show me the details of the total 4 verses and the title. Again please note that I need the the Protestant Episcopal version (1940).

Eternal Father, strong to save,
Whose arm hath bound the restless wave,
Who biddest 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 Christ! Whose voice the waters heard
And hushed their raging at Thy Word,
Who walked on the foaming deep,
And calm amidst its rage didst sleep;
Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee,
For those in peril on the sea!
Most Holy Spirit! Who didst brood
Upon the chaos dark and rude,
And bid its angry tumult cease,
And give, for wild confusion, peace;
Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee,
For those in peril on the sea!
O Trinity of love and power!
Our family shield in danger’s hour;
From rock and tempest, fire and foe,
Protect us wheresoever we go;
Thus evermore shall rise to Thee
Glad hymns of praise from land and sea.
Way to go Susan!!!!
