Eternal Father, strong to care,
Whose arm hath bound the solar flare,
Who bidd'st the boundless vortex deep
Its own infinite limits keep;
O hear us when we seek thy grace
For those in peril out in space!
Eternal Father, King of birth,
Who didst create heaven and earth,
And bid the planets and the sun
Their own appointed orbits run;
O hear us when we seek thy grace
For those in peril out in space!
Most Holy Spirit! Who didst brood
Upon the åether dark and rude,
And bid the cold entropy cease,
And give, for wild confusion, peace;
O hear us when we seek thy grace
For those in peril out in space!
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 sing of grace
Glad hymns of praise from outer space.
