Who fed the troll?

Certainly my favourite maritime hymn. It was always sung on remembrance Sunday at the Sinclair Seaman's in Belfast. Beautiful rendition here.

Pay particular attention to the "lower lights", and who and why they are...

I didn't want to read all the posts to see if my comment is repetitive (Yikes!) but I'm pretty sure this is a combined choir with members of the Men's Chorus, Concert Choir, and Singers. If it was just Men's Chorus, then the director of Men's Chorus would be leading, who is Rosalind Hall. Dr. Staheli, the man leading, is sort of like the head of the choral program.

stop bad mouthing the church we should be commenting on this beautiful hymn which, by the way, did not originate in the church.

Before you make ignorant comments about any religion you should know what you're talking about. Your ignorance is showing. You know nothing!

One dark stormy night a ship was trying to reach Cleveland harbor. Usually the captain could use the city, or lower lights to guide him to the safety of the harbor. They were out, and the ship was lost. More than a great hymn, it is a true story with a profound message that followers of Christ are obligated to guide others to safety.

@tigerlilly66 Hmmm, comparing Joe Smith with Hitler... Ahh, so thats what this is all about! Joe wanted to conquer the world! Hey everyone, tigerlilly66 just figured the Mormons. We are out to conquer the world and kill off a race of people to create a super-breed of green jell-o makers.
"I do NOT hate Mormons" (your words) Either you were lying then, or you are lying now. Your hatred for Mormons shines like a new penny.

@Isolation1 = Did you bother to read what you just sent me? You DON'T CARE how Smith got his "relevation" from Elohim, but only that he said he did and you've chosen to believe it? You DON'T CARE? Rewind the time machine just 75 years, and in a well-developed, intellectual Germany, the citizens there too didn't care to dwell on what Hitler was saying, but only that he had restored German national pride, pulled the country out of a depression, and had everyone feeling GOOD about themselves !

@tigerlilly66 ...us to hear. I personally dont care if Joe Smith flushed the toilet, stuck his face in it, watched it swirl around and claims to have gotten the message that way... its the message that has the power. Something you have truly failed to see. But thats cool. Live your life the way you want to live it with no shame. It seems that the Christian thing to do is to let those striving to be better, be better, with whatever means they have found without trampling on their foundation.
This is the coolest song. I love the message and the tune sticks in your mind. it allows me to keep the spirit with me throughout the day. Thanks teacher for showing this song to me!! Even thought it's not a very well-known hymn, it's a real good one!
