Eternal Father, Strong to Save
Author: William Whiting, 1825-1878 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 424 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 1:2-3 Lyrics: 1 Eternal Father, strong to save,
Whose arm has bound the restless wave,
Who bade 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 Savior, whose almighty word
The wind and waves submissive heard,
Who walked upon the foaming deep,
And calm amid its rage did sleep:
O hear us when we cry to thee
For those in peril on the sea.
3 O Holy Spirit, who did brood
Upon the chaos wild and rude,
And bade its angry tumult cease,
And gave, for fierce confusion, peace:
O hear us when we cry to thee
For those in peril on the sea.
4 O Trinity of love and pow'r,
All travelers guard in danger's hour;
From rock and tempest, fire and foe,
Protect them where-so-e'er they go;
Thus evermore shall rise to thee
Glad praise from air and land and sea.

His Rural Thoughts and other poems were published in 1851; but contained no hymns. His reputation as a hymnwriter is almost exclusively confined to his “Eternal Father, strong to save". Other hymns by him were contributed to the following collections:—
i. To the 1869 Appendix to the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge Psalms & Hymns
1. O Lord the heaven Thy power displays. Evening.
2. Onward through life Thy children stray. Changing Scenes of Life.
ii. To an Appendix to Hymns Ancient & Modern issued by the Clergy of St. Philip's, Clerkenwell, 1868.
3. Jesus, Lord, our childhood's Pattern. Jesus the Example to the Young.
4. Lord God Almighty, Everlasting Father. Holy Trinity.
5. Now the harvest toil is over. Harvest.
6. 0 Father of abounding grace. Consecration of a Church.

1866 - 1960 Person Name: Thomas O. Chisholm, 1866-1960 Scripture: Genesis 8:22 Hymnal Number: 492 Author of "Great Is Thy Faithfulness" in Lead Me, Guide Me (2nd ed.) Thomas O. Chisholm was born in Franklin, Kentucky in 1866. His boyhood was spent on a farm and in teaching district schools. He spent five years as editor of the local paper at Franklin. He was converted to Christianity at the age of 26 and soon after was business manager and office editor of the "Pentecostal Herald" of Louisville, Ky. In 1903 he entered the ministry of the M. E. Church South. His aim in writing was to incorporate as much as Scripture as possible and to avoid flippant or sentimental themes.
