Eternal Father , strong to save,

Whose arms hath bound the restless wave,

Who bidd'st the mighty ocean deep

Its Own appointed limits keep:

O 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 wheresoever they go:

Thus evermore shall rise to Thee

Glad hymns of praise from land and sea.

There there were the Opening Prayers followed by a reading of Mark, Chapter 4: verses 35-41. 

There was the Eulogy and Reflection, by Reverend Steve Santry.

A poem, Crossing the Bar,by Alfred, Lord Tennyson, was read by Rob Jerrard's 4th cousin, Barbara Marshall.

The Day Thou Gavest, Lord, is Ended.
