When I was in boot camp in 1967 at MCRD, San Diego, we sang this every Sunday at chapel. Honestly, it was amazing how good a theater full of Marine recruits could sound. Most sang the melody, but there were enough tenors and basses to give it depth and the echo at the end was spine-tingling. Semper Fi!
@@lorinkramer5805 I arrived on 24 July 1967. I was in two platoons, because I broke my leg about half way through. I'm pretty sure that my first platoon was 3023 and my second platoon was 3054. There's been a lot of water under the bridge since then, and I lost my platoon book about 25 years ago during a move. It was for my second platoon. The one I really wanted was for my first platoon, because I had some friends that I joined with, but alas, it was not to be.
@@GradyPhilpott Small world, we were there at the same time. It was a long time ago, 57 years this June. We were kids then, getting to be old men now. SEMPER FI!
When my father was buried in Arlington, he got a 21 gun salute, and the other accoutrements. Decades later I can still close my eyes and remember every moments, but my emotions were the highest when they play the Navy Hymn. I cried then, and I cried every time I heard it for decades after his death. Even now I've only evolved to where I only cry every other time.
I requested this hymn to close my father's funeral service. Our family has a very strong tradition of wartime naval service to America. He served mostly in the Pacific in WW II, USS Birmingham CL 62. We gave him a funeral with military honors.
I love this hymn. I heard The Ohio State Marching Band play it in the skull session at St. John’s arena. This was ~20 years ago. Every hair on the back of everyone’s neck stood up. What a magnificent hymn. ❤️⚓️
Hi I listened to this beautiful song with tear filled eyes. My Dad was also USN 42-46. Saw duty in both oceans. I so miss him. I thank you for your Dad's service my Dad was so proud of his Naval service. Thanks for posting. God bless you and your family.
Also my dads favorite hymn. Naval veteran WWII. CVE-83 USS Sergent Bay. Radio man in Torpedo Bombers. 1942-1946. Yes we sang this at his funeral as he wished. I was 14. God Dammit. Now I'm crying. We are such lucky men, Rick, to have fathers like that. I wish he could have met his granddaughter before he passed. She joined up senior year in high school and is currently serving as a US Navy Chief aboard CVN 77 - George H.W Bush. It is possible that he could be prouder of her than me, but I doubt it.
@@chrisa9373 They both are proud of their sons, daughters and grandchildren. Unfortunately for my dad I didn't go into the NAVY, I enlisted in the ARMY during Vietnam. I was on an enlisted waiting list for the NAVY but my draft notice was immanent. Ended up with a unit attached to the 82nd Airborne. Thank your daughter for her service for me. I'm proud of her too.
@@jerrymccrae7202 Thank you. I write this as Memorial Day is but a week away. We will think of all of them who came before us. Was your father assigned to a particular ship?
The first time i heard this hymn was when i graduated boot camp. It gave me chills, and this slow haunting version is my favourite style of singing it.
For many in my generation not connected with the Navy, we met this hymn, unforgettably, when President Kennedy's coffin was being carried down the steps of the Capitol.
"If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration." --Nikola Tesla For me, in music, certain notes (frequencies, vibration) trigger different emotions. I can't get through this without tearing up.
For any seafaring men or woman this song has deep meaning. It’s sleep in the core of our hearts, for life, liberty and a respect for those who served this country and those who gave the ultimate sacrifice.
We finished our service at Riverside church in New York while being Midshipmen at Colubia U With this song. I was a young Ensign in the Pacific on Feb 19 1945 to June of 1946
Oh my. Mr. Person, my father was at midshipman’s school in 1942 - also at Columbia - and told me of hearing this song in church right before he was deployed. He survived the War, but 80 of his shipmates didn’t. This hymn always made him cry (and somebody’s peeling onions around here right now, too). RIP, Dad. Love you.
I am here because I wanted to research the favorite hymn of Prince Philip who was a Naval man before he married Elizabeth who became Queen. Prince Philip had his funeral today. May he rest in peace. This choir is excellent.
@S. Labouisse You have a good point there ... the Sea Chanters kind of capture that a bit better, but this is honored and beautiful ... but I'm with you on that! (I'm a Jarhead's daughter ... we're always a bit more hopped up!)
This hynm touches me so deeply. Eternal Father Strong To Save ,I carved above the alter of the chapel at the united States Naval Academy in Annapilis,Maryland
I, too, was in the Blue Jacket Choir in Boot Camp, but at RTC Great Lakes in January 1969. I remember the second verse as beginning “”Lord guard and guide the men who fly through the great spaces in the sky…”
I saw the USS Alabama movie tonight. Where this hymn is included in the original soundtrack ! Realy splendid I pray for all this young usnavy servicemen who came die in a so far away country.
The whole world has heard this song , somehow somewhere, in a moving sombre dirgy kind of way !!! It makes one awed, sad, humbled, even without knowing the words or it's context !! Heared my grandad, hum to this tune ,while asleep !!! He was in the African kings riffles reg in Burma ! Never knew he saw sea combat at any time.......??? Now that I appreciate the shere excellent manner it can be belted out in it's glorious entirety , I chock up with pride, And admiration, of my dear little Guka!! (Grandad)!!!

He came back almost deaf, and the British gave him a rickety bike ,to ride all over the central Kenyan plains, ......….........., but his true ligacy lies in the life that I live today ,from the perils of all his past seas !!!! I love you Guka!!!!
Hi, Your late Grandfather may not have actually seen "action" at sea whilst in The King's African Rifles, but he definitely would have experienced the conditions of "war at sea" in Royal Navy Transport Ships in getting to (presumably) India on his way to fight the Japanese in Burma. At sea he would therefore have constantly been aware of the dangers of being suddenly torpedoed, at any time, or attacked by Surface Raiders and would have heard/ learned this British Hymn at Sunday Services. Having "done his bit" at Sea I would say he qualified himself by "sea-time" to sing this Hymn???? As a matter of interest, are you aware that if your Grandfather was not already serving as a Regular in the KAR when WW2 commenced in 1939, then he almost certainly would have been a 100% Volunteer with all the other East, West & South Africans, Caribbean Islanders and Indians within the British Armed Forces as "Colonials" were never subject to Conscription into the Military. He therefore fought for what HE believed in and not what he was pressed into doing by others. I hope these few words increase the already high esteem you have for your Grandfather and this KAR Marching Song would have been very familiar to him, th-cam.com/video/tXnZ8n26d2g/w-d-xo.html The descendants of this soldier at 2:13 mins still join the British Army today (as ALL Commonwealth men/women of good character have as their birth-right) as shown here, th-cam.com/video/3jK2lpKjxQE/w-d-xo.html Respects to you.

To be fair the all most recent presidents who've passed away were all Navy veterans. Kennedy Johnson Nixon Ford Bush 41 Carter will be on that list as he too was in the Navy. Reagan is an odd one.

It is obvious that you have never sung in a group. His arm movements were not for you but for the singers. He was beating time and that was critical to make the song so beautiful.
Appropriate. He was in the Navy. Bush 41 also had it at his, also a Navy veteran. I think Ford did too, also a Navy veteran. I don't know for sure if Nixon had this played but he too is a Navy veteran. Carter likely will when his time comes as he too was in the Navy
When I was in boot camp in 1967 at MCRD, San Diego, we sang this every Sunday at chapel. Honestly, it was amazing how good a theater full of Marine recruits could sound. Most sang the melody, but there were enough tenors and basses to give it depth and the echo at the end was spine-tingling. Semper Fi!
I was the religious PO in 1979 in boot camp. Same thing.
When in 1967? I was in Plt. 1013, arrived MCRD 29 June. Let the fun begin!!!

As a Navy veteran, this hymn never fails to bring me to tears.
Thank you for your service!!

Grew up in Pensacola. Our church began/ended services on Memorial Day with "Eternal Father". 70+ and I still tear up.
We used to sing it every Sunday at MCRD San Diego, 35 years ago. Remains my favorite.
For many in my generation not connected with the Navy, we met this hymn, unforgettably, when President Kennedy's coffin was being carried down the steps of the Capitol.
Yes, for me too.
Watched that, but don't recall the hymn. Beautiful hymn though.
I cried at 5 years old hearing this at Kennedy's funeral. Music has a power that requires not any specific age to feel.
"If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration." --Nikola Tesla
For me, in music, certain notes (frequencies, vibration) trigger different emotions. I can't get through this without tearing up.

I too

Horsefeathers. It is for anyone who has sailed the waters be it military, civilian, fishing, lifesaving etc.

It’s called the Naval Hymn!
But glad you appreciate the sentiment of the song.
@@lawrencegreen1718 Only in the US. It is also known as For Those in Peril on the Sea, but it is called, as stated in the title post , Eternal Father.

52 years later, I can still remember all the words to this hymn which I memorized in Navy boot camp!
My Mom and Dad, WW2 era and WW2 Vet, both had played at their funerals...very moving...perfect for Mem Day wknd Sunday church.
I am here because I wanted to research the favorite hymn of Prince Philip who was a Naval man before he married Elizabeth who became Queen. Prince Philip had his funeral today. May he rest in peace. This choir is excellent.
You might also check out the Ohio State Marching Band rendition. 250 brass musicians singing then playing "Eternal Father".
I am a widow (again) and my son sang this at my wedding.
Somber and breathtaking.
