Prayer used in Storms at Sea
Most
powerful and glorious Lord God, at whose command the
winds blow, and lift up the waves of the sea, and
who stillest the rage thereof. We thy creatures, but
miserable sinners, do in this our great distress cry
unto thee for help: Save, Lord, or else we perish.
We confess, when we have been safe, and seen all
things quiet about us, we have forgot thee our God,
and refused to hearken to the still voice of thy
word, and to obey thy commandments: But now we see,
how terrible thou art in all thy works of wonder;
the great God to be feared above all: And therefore
we adore thy Divine Majesty, acknowledging thy
power, and imploring thy goodness. Help, Lord, and
save us for thy mercy's sake in Jesus Christ thy
Son, our Lord.
Amen.
