The Royal Navy hymn in an empty Portsmouth Cathedral, in a moving tribute to HRH The Duke of Edinburgh. ‘Eternal Father, Strong to Save’ was a favourite hymn of Prince Philip, and has a deep connection to the Navy and seafarers, blessing their voyages at sea. As the longest-serving consort to the monarch makes his final journey, Alexandra Stevenson - Soprano and organist David Price perform it in tribute. | Classic FM

We had a lovely Sea Services event yesterday. One of the highlights was when the United States Naval Academy Catholic Choir sang the Navy Hymn near the end. The hymn references the Navy and other armed forces who serve at sea---the Marines, Coast Guard, and Merchant Marine---and the last verse mentions Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton. We were able to capture some video of the choir while they sang. | The National Shrine of Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton

Eternal Father Strong to Save Whose arm hath bound the restless wave, Who bid'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. | Porthleven Town Band

“Eternal Father, Strong to Save” is known as The Navy Hymn, a powerful prayer for protection over those at sea, and a song of comfort for those left behind🙏🏻 It’s been sung on ships, in churches, and at military funerals for generations. Today, I offer it as a tribute… for every hero we remember this Memorial Day. May this hymn bring peace to you❤️🙏🏻 | Rosemary Siemens
