Eternal Father strong to save

[felixbautista]

In addition, stored this in my favorites.

[felixbautista]

It took me 15 years to know the title of this divine hymn till tonight when it got featured in an instant Netflix movie I watched searching for it in its title credits... thanks so much for uploading it.

[royalnavy200]

remember singing this every sunday at hms ganges....... best tune ever

[Aotearoa2010]

I love this song...

[Jessicabepvideos]

titanic's song

[acidtripsthroughfilm]

Dear jkilts, this song would not have been sung on the Titanic because the song was not printed in a hymnal until 1940.

[mikedumais]

Hi My GuitarGntlyWeeps, as a former US naval officer, I recall singing this hymn more then 30 years ago. It is a wonderful hymn that came from the UK. Because we call it the US NavyHymn, in no way diminishes the fact that someone over on your side of the pond composed it. Over my naval career I have had the privilege of serving with many of the best of British sailors, and every Sunday, we all sang this wonderful hymn. I hope you understand we, on both sides of the pond are Brothers in arms.

[MDJA123456]

Quite right we are, my friend. Luck to you.

[MyGuitarGntlyWeeps]

after watching Titanic for the billionth time, i have fallen in love with this song <3

[steamgeezer]

US Navy hymn?, Nothing against our friends over the pond but this has been the mariners hymn in the UK as long as we have had mariners, I trust we still have a navy and god bless them.

[mattr795]

ORKOdudley - you're not being asked to buy into it. Trust me when you have got to the limits of what you can do and you have got to the limits of what your boat can do there is only one person to ask............. I am not religious however I am RNLI crew and even with the best training and the best equipment sometimes a little help dosen't go amiss..........

[lovemypiano111]

For some reason it always gives me goose bumps and I am not even Christian. It's a beautiful hymn, solemn and and stately, the way a HYMN should be.

[ORKOdudley]

I didn't buy it in school and i don't buy it know

[TheLifeEternal]

hymn Brothers.. Beautiful Video

[cpet60]

God Bless and keep safe the sailors of the Royal Navy Submarine Service.

[xBabyxDollxAlicex]

Did anyone else hear the coughing o.O??

[WackyWhiskers]

They sing it o n Titanic... OF THOSE IN PERIL ON THE SEA!!!!

[box500london]

Powerful and beautiful, thank you,

[nataliahalim19]

hmm,, i love this song!

[xavierrrr]

@justinBlast19 no, I dont believe at all.

[MAI742]

@xavierrrr I don't believe in atheism either.

[MrEttercap]

@MAI742 It's not possible for you not to believe in a concept, unless you truly are ignorant.

One can disbelieve the existence of god. One cannot so easily disbelieve the disbelief of the existence of god. :)

[MAI742]

@MrEttercap I believe in the capacity of humans to reason. Does that belief alone make me ignorant...?

[hugboxx]

@MAI742 You seem to have misunderstood me. You said "I don't believe in atheism". This is fine if you're using "believe" to stake out your preferences, ie. "I don't believe people should fight wars."

However, in this context, you are essentially saying you do not accept the existence of atheism. This is akin to saying "I don't believe in cheese" or "I don't believe in the sun", which would make you ignorant, hence the original response.

[MAI742]

@hugboxx True. Though personally, I would in your position be far more likely to simply label the issuer of such a statement a troll than be bothered with proper analysis.

[mmahesh911]

So amazing & beautiful Hymn....really great..... when I listen this hymn that moment I feel peace in my mind....thank u soooooo much for uploading...

[xavierrrr]

@justinBlast19 nooooooooo.

[xavierrrr]

@justinBlast19 oh right, well that explained everything for me! How about anyone else?

[xavierrrr]

@justinBlast19 far from my mind to start a religious debate... but sorry? It was gods plan?

[zeekmykitty]

i find it really ironic that in the movie Titanic they sang this song then sank o.O....

[Coach5024]

God Bless Them All...

[MrAlberttheman]

The Lord says: these people serve me with their lips but their hearts are far from Me. It is only after the ship started sinking that they started singing with their whole hearts to God, it is often like that in life. We have other little idols like our bank accounts that we trust on except only on the Lord

[itsinmynamechap]

Wow, amazing video!

[MultiLusitania]

It can be heard in S.O.S. Titanic 1979

[doctorpsycho1960]

Along with "Amazing Grace", one of the few hymns that can really move me.

"By power of your breath restore

The ill and men with wounds of war

Bless those who give their healing care

That life and laughter all might share"

[aedlable]

Thankyou for putting this vid up. Yesterday was my Nanas funeral, this was one of the songs we sang in her honour. It helps that i can hear it here (and well sung toO)

[marinecorps76]

I am glad that I came across this video, as it too reminds me when I was going through Marine Corps boot camp, this was the first time I had heard this song and every Sunday at the end of the worship service, we would end with this song. God bless our troops and protect them from any harm. God bless America.

[kurbiscremesuppe]

Used in the film Titanic (1997) during service.

[edwardtjones1]

I went to a naval training school for five years 1945-1949. we sung the first and last verses every morning at prayers and every evening and three times on a sunday. i also joined the Royal Navy and sung it a few times when their was a death. Still make the hairs on neck stand up and also have shed a few tears singing it

 edward jones

[TheTexn]

My father sang this hymn in Port Arthur, Texas at St. John's Lutheran Church. Many an old sea captain had tears in their eyes while the song was sung. Many were the memories of a life at sea. I pray that God will bless them all.

[lonetree1941]

This is my favorite service hymn. I'm a former Marine, but the Navy hymn is the one I connect most to.

The video is great too; notice the very last wave that breaks behind the light-house. It shows the true scale all that wave action against the breakwater leading out to the lighthouse. That one wave is almost as high as the light-house itself.

[kalvin0321]

WoW theres that one person who disliked the video

[1wwegirl2]

@kalvin0321 u spoke to soon :/

[AsianQwest]

Amazing.

[TheEagerMcBeaver]

1 person drowned at sea

[zach8575]

@TheEagerMcBeaver you dumb fuck

[TheEagerMcBeaver]

@zach8575 Thanks, I love the song also.

[MrPaddyboii]

1 person missed the like button silly person .... what a great hymn

[clairelarson5]

For my beloved FATHER...Charles Wesley Larson II

[tusitc]

know every word.

had to sing it every month back at school (it was a naval school)

its awesome

[BoudiccaBlanc]

I was hoping to find this hymn. It's the hymn of the USN & Marines.

Thank you so much THENBA...:-) :-)

[Undergottensnotten]

@BoudiccaBlanc

Of the Royal Navy as well, I believe. Regularly used on Remembrance Day as well.

[puglover1958]

thank you for posting this. my father served on board the USS Interprise, USS Independence where he was a plankowner during the cuban missle crisis, and many other ships during his navy career. he passed on 4-24-08 of conjestive heart failure. only GOD knows the pain in my heart for him. he was buried in the med. i have recently been diagnosed with breast cancer and pray,,,,,

Dad, please watch over me and wait for me, I Love You,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[kikupub71]

@puglover1958

Like you my dad served as a plank owner on the cv10 the USS. Yorktown

he like so many of our service dads are passing at an alarming rate.

I lost dad in 1990 of heart disease. the good news is that he accepted Jesus as Lord and Messiah and is being comforted . in His presence. I too hold on to the same hope.

I was sorry to hear of the diagnosis of CA recently. Be assured that Jesus Cares deeply for you and your future.

Please trust Him, He will help.

I'm so sorry to hear of your

[Cheapasscookie]

@puglover1958 God watch over you

[gunvor69]

Does this apply to Navy SEALs as well?

[ZakkLamm]

@gunvor69 Yes. It applies to all Naval services. When I was in Marine Recruit Training, we sand this in Chapel on Sundays. There's a couple verses of the song devoted to Marines, and plenty to the Navy.

[borncountryful]

Thank you for this beautiful prayer..

My son is a Sailor and will come through

many stormy seas by the Grace of God.

My prayer for all our troops is repeated in

these words Again, Thank you.

[titaniclover99]

this song is very beautiful. i love it.

[Borat911]

almost made me cry ... i have a weakness for these kind of hymns ... I should not hear to them again But i probably will

[belladeballe]

Love this song. First time I heard it was when I was in the USMC. Lots of verses in it to commemorate virtually every aspect of military service.

[particulatestaleyq]

The whole of creation, with all of its laws, is a revelation of God.

[JonnysKia]

I live close to Halifax, and I can just imagine what it was like when they sung this in the maritime sailor's cathedral that day. Getting to sing this for Remembrance Day is an incredible experience. We are losing our veterans...please don't let their sacrifices be forgotten.

[jkilts]

Ironic that this was one of the feature hymns in the Sunday service of the Titanic- 16 hours before it began sinking... and then those in board actually became 'those in peril on the sea'.

[silentHi]

@jkilts The Hymn "Eternal Father Strong to Save wasn't written until 1918

[jkilts]

@silentHi

The words were written in 1860, the music written in 1861. 

[patient451]

@jkilts i got chills watching Titanic when they sang the line "for those in peril on the sea". Foreshadowing at its finest

[jkilts]

@patient451

I think the most interesting bit is that son was actually sung in the real service on board, the morning of the disaster

[Svalbardman]

@jkilts um, i think that was the whole point of it

[NBlunierProductions]

@Svalbardman they didnt know it was gonna sink at that time.... duh.. thats why its ironic. @jkilts thats what I was thinking

[purelazyness]

@jkilts yeah one of my top fav. movies and the way u said it just blew my mind, was really moving :)

[JMG150266]

Maravilhoso!!!

[October31st1517]

Beautiful Hymn

[utff313]

@October31st1517 - just goes to show none of us know the hour when we shall be called to account for our life. May I use my time and my life giving glory to God, so when the time comes, I may be glad to see Him face to face .
