Eternal Father strong to save,
Whose arm hath bound the restless wave,
Who bidd'st 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,
An hushed their raging at Thy word,.
Who walkedst on the foaming deep,
And calm amid the storm didst sleep:
Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee,
For those in peril on the sea!
O holy spirit, who didst brood
Upon the waters dark and rude,
And bid their 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 brethren shield in danger's hour;
From rock and tempest, fire and foe,
Protect them wheresoe'er they go:
Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee,
For those in peril on the sea!

I could not find the date of printing. I guess that book is about 50 years old.
I found that book in the antiques corner of a book shop in Paignton/Cornwall.

P.S.
I have been six times in Cameron's Titanic, the last two times just because I wanted to learn the tune.
