O Lord, you see how everywhere the winds have burst forth,
and the sea is convulsed with the great violence of the rising waves.
Command, we beseech You who alone are able,
both the winds and the sea.
Restore to mankind the true peace of your name,
that peace which the world cannot give,
and the calm of social harmony.
Under your inspiration may men overthrow the rule of greed,
bring back the love of God, justice,
charity toward neighbor, temperance in all desires.
May all recognize that they are subject to You,
and must serve You who are truth and salvation;
that without You they labor in vain.
In Your law is reason and fatherly kindness.
You are ever at hand with Your strength
and Your power to help man to keep it.
