These are the original lyrics: Eternal Father, strong to save, Whose arm hath bound the restless wave, Who bidd'st the mighty ocean deep Its own appointed limits keep; Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee, For those in peril on the sea! O grant them peace of heart and mind, And comfort loved ones left behind. Grant them from thy great throne above The shield and shelter of thy love. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. Note: This hymn is used by both the British Royal and United States Navies. Thou who supports with tender might The balanced birds in all their flight. This offer is not available for sales of products purchased for resale. Our family shield in danger's hour; From rock and tempest, fire and foe, Protect us wheresoever we go; Thus evermore shall rise to Thee Glad hymns of praise from land and sea. Grant them from thy great throne above The shield and shelter of thy love. Be with them always in the air, In darkening storms or sunlight fair; Oh, hear us when we lift our prayer, For those in peril in the air! Bless those who give their healing care, That life and laughter all may share. Whose voice the waters heard And hushed their raging at Thy word, Who walked'st on the foaming deep, And calm amidst its rage didst sleep; Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee, For those in peril on the sea! Eternal Father, Strong to Save (The Navy Hymn) YouTube lyrics - This beautiful hymn is well-known to those who live on or by the sea; and particularly those who serve on ships or lifeboats. I am looking for official. What I need is a piece which would be appropriate to sing at funerals for veterans of whichever service. No idea what the Air Force would use, though. Perhaps something about angels soaring or something like that. Would any specialist unit recognize those verses in the wikipedia entry. I'm thinking in particular the Marine verse, or would Marines use Eternal Father as well. Daisrael: I am familiar with those songs for the various branches, but was looking for something that would be more appropriate for church funerals. No idea what the Air Force would use, though.

I am a former Marine and I had no idea the hymn in that link existed. Mainly, I think, because Eternal father strong to save youtube fortunately haven't had to attend too many funerals. Those I did attend didn't have anyone singing. They did play the Marine Corps Hymn, but much slower than you usually hear it played. That wouldn't really work for actually singing it though. If you end up singing at a Marine's funeral, I would say go with the hymn in the link with the verse for Marines. While I wouldn't say everyone will recognize it, it is very appropriate. Thanks Nick, Spejic, and daisrael for your help. I've gotten word from another Air Force vet who says that the hymn is in the Air Force hymnal, and also found a link on the Air Force website, who would have thought. The Army hymn still was bothering me, though. So I went right to the source. I received a very nice and detailed reply. Here are some highlights: Many Hymns throughout history have made the claim of being the Official Army Hymn: a. Later that same song was referred to as the National Hymn. However, it was not adopted. They were referred to as the Army Hymn most likely through common use. The hymn focuses on the Army's traditional roles and functions of training, preparation, and ultimately, of battle. On a historical note General Dwight D. Eisenhower called for the hymn to be sung in Westminster Cathedral shortly before the D Day landings in France. The Chief of Chaplains Office does not seek to establish a Hymn. A hymn however, can establish itself among our ranks through use. There is no intent to force use upon the service members. However, we have made chaplains aware that there is a movement that exists which would like to hear the hymn sung. The Navy Chief of Chaplains website doesn't seem to be working, but is the website of the Navy Chaplains School. If you look in the directory there is a link to email the director. Oh, and just in case you weren't aware of it, just like docs, the Marine Corps gets its chaplains from the Navy.
