ETERNAL FATHER - The Naval Hymn

This beautiful hymn is well-known to those who live on or by the sea; and particularly those who serve on ships or lifeboats. A tribute to those who served and died at sea, including Emmanuel Leonard, my late great-uncle from Plymouth, Devon, of the Royal Navy.

My dad is a big fan of the"Hymn Makers" CDs and after listening to such songs with him every now and then on our front porch, I have grown out to love them.Hymns are what I go by now! Reminds me of good memories.

Thank you Aritul for your kind comment. I happen to occasionally write poetry and love maritime and naval history including shipwrecks, underwater archaeology, maritime/naval medical history and marine arts of all types. Customary law of the sea which emobdies traditionally Judeo-Christian ethic of the value of a single life goes back well before modern international laws.
