[jaylias]

I don't believe in God but it doesn't mean I can't admire those who were inspired him. This song stayed with me since I was very young at school :]

[titanicwilliam]

god bless to titanics cry for help

[banannapiecake]

this is a song that just makes you cry it just tells you how mighty god is

[joebstarsurfer]

This is bollox its a navy song!.

[irishoorah]

i truly believe that people, like the band aboard the titanic-people who know the only outcome is death- the band members who stayed to play music to try and comfort those terrified people-when someone dies for the love of a total stranger-i believe that God pardons all their past mistakes and sins- and they live in peace for eternity

[scorpietta]

@irishoorah Yes, it says quite a lot about their character as well. So often, folks are so focused on themselves.

[skrivbok]

Ever since I was a little kid, the Titanic has always amazed me... her beauty and her (to say the least) extremely tragic story... I think we all should give the crew, the passengers and last but not least, the RMS Titanic one giant salute!

Let us never forget what happened that night, on April 15th 1912. 2 hours and 40 minutes which were living hell for 1500 souls before they finally passed away in the ice cold North Atlantic water.

[MrsSparrow9]

@skrivbok So true. Titanic is not forgotten!

Steiner8834: The name of the Hymn is Eternal Father, Strong to Save NOT For Those in Peril on the Sea

[SilverPhoenix13]

@zeb1912 While it is true that it's real name is 'Eternal Father, Strong to Save', this hymn is known by various names, including 'Those in Peril on the Sea', 'The Navy Hymn' and others. Would it be too much for you to simply listen to this and enjoy it, instead of arguing about it's name...? :)

[CODEColt45]

recently a ferry sank in the Phillipines I think back in 07' or 08 that killed about 1100 people almost as many as Titanic.

[PradaHore]

98 years ago at this hour the ship started to shread in half, Its so sad all those lifes lost

[oldsouthafrica]

a beautifully played piece!

[worldpolicenow]

almight father strong to save

whose arm doth bind the restless wave

who bids the mighty ocean deep

its own appointed limits keep

o savior whose almighty word

the winds and waves submissive heard

who walked upon the foaming deep

and calm amidst its rage did sleep

hear us as we call to thee

for those in peril on the seas

[satanmort]

is this version that's played here for download someplaces??

love this video by the way:')

[megacurtis09]

a brilliant job in remembering the ship...

[TR3791]

Very good..nice work...very emotional!

[hodgrix]

the people on titanic actually sang this on april 14th. how fitting as the ship started sinking that night

[diizzyfiizzy]

actually, they didnt. It was a deliberate mistake in the film. This hymn wasn't actually written until 1929. Another one of JAmes Horner's mistakes was Second Officer William Murdoch's shooting himself.

[hodgrix]

firstly, James Horner was just the composer so if anyone made a mistake in the historical facts it was James CAMERON. And no one knows for sure who was shot and who committed suicide so the film, while disrespectfull to Murdoch, is not necessarily wrong.

Secondly, Some survivors such as Lawrence Beesly said that they remember the hymn "for those in peril on the sea" being sung on the afternoon of Sunday April 14th.

Please do get your facts straight before you claim someone else is wrong.

[diizzyfiizzy]

Whoops. I did know that JAmes CAmeron was the director, and James Horner was the composer, I barely noticed what I was writing, so for that, I apologise. Eternal Father was written in 1860. I was surprised to learn this, as my history teacher told us about that mistake, saying that the hymn hadn't been written until years after Titanic. But, in my defence, it WAS an anachronism.The version sung in the movie is the 1940 Protestant Episcopal version, which was not yet written at that time.

[hodgrix]

k i'll buy that. a lot of things with titanic have been very exaggerated and the "legend" has taken on a life of its own which is sometimes very far from the truth. The fact that this hymn was sang on the 14th only became relevant after the disaster and like u say it wasnt the hymn played in this vid. the hymn sang on titanic probably only had the line "for those in peril on the sea".

[maggas69]

u prolly right, things have been exaggerated

[hollister4ev]

it wasnt a mistake that murdoch shot himself, one of the officers did commit suicide during the sinking they just dont know who and they wanted to show that one of them did shoot themselves in the movie, they just picked one of the officers that went down with the ship and the happened to pick murdoch

[diizzyfiizzy]

i heard that james cameron had to apologise to the james murdoch school in scotland for doing that. They made a school in memorial.

[hollister4ev]

yeah he did he had to donate like 5,000 dollars to the william murdoch memorial fund

[5ra46]

@hollister4ev only fair thing to do :)

[CallummmLOL]

no it was written in 1860.

[hmcgill911]

@diizzyfiizzy Sorry, this song was written in 1890 by William Whiting of Winchester, England. It was written as a poem.

[DrHouse779]

On Sunday, 14th of April, Captain Smith took time away from his bridge duty, possibly a mistake, to lead the first class congregation in the first class dining saloon. I don't belive we're sure as to the hymn that was sung there. However Reginald Baker (Her assistant purser) held a Church of England service in the Second Class dining saloon. Eva Heart remembers the hymn sung in second class- "O God Our Help in Ages Past." There may be testimony that Smith led them in Eternal Father; Im not sure.

[speedair40]

people should remember titanic and all those who live and work at sea. It can be a dangerous place

[sonia64400]
