Verse 2: O Christ, the Lord of hill and plain o’er which our traffic runs a-main By mountain pass or valley low: Wherever, Lord, our brethren go, Protect them by Thy guarding hand From ev’ry peril on the land. Verse 3: O Spirit whom the Father sent To spread abroad the firmament: O wind of heaven, by Thy might Save all who dare the eagle’s flight, And keep them by Thy watchful care From ev’ry peril in the air. Verse 4: O Trinity of love and pow’r, Our brethren shield in danger’s hour; From rock and tempest, fire and foe, Protect them, wheresoe’er they go: Thus ever more shall rise to Thee Glad praise from air and land and sea. Amen
