Navy Hymn for Submariners

"Eternal Father, Strong to Save": The Navy Hymn
The song known to United States Navy men and women as the "Navy Hymn," is a musical benediction that long has had a special appeal to seafaring men, particularly in the American Navy and the Royal Navies of the British Commonwealth and which, in more recent years, has become a part of French naval tradition.
The original words were written as a hymn by a schoolmaster and clergyman of the Church of England, the Rev. William Whiting. Rev. Whiting (1825-1878) resided on the English coast near the sea and had once survived a furious storm in the Mediterranean. His experiences inspired him to pen the ode, "Eternal Father, Strong to Save." In the following year, 1861, the words were adapted to music by another English clergyman, the Rev. John B. Dykes (1823-1876) , who had originally written the music as "Melita" (ancient name for the Mediterranean island of Malta). Rev. Dykes' name may be recognized as that of the composer given credit for the music to many other well-known hymns, including "Holy, Holy, Holy," "Lead, Kindly Light," "Jesus, Lover of My Soul," and "Nearer, My God to Thee."
In the United States, in 1879 the late Rear Adm. Charles Jackson Train, an 1865 graduate of the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis was a lieutenant commander stationed at the Academy in charge of the Midshipman Choir. In that year, Lt. Comdr. Train inaugurated the present practice of concluding each Sunday's Divine Services at the Academy with the singing of the first verse of this hymn.
Through the years, additional verses have been added to the original chorus representing different branches of the military, military departments, as well as military families. This video focuses on the contributions of the submarine force and their families.

So much pride in both my mother and father who served in the US Navy. Both have passed and were honored with this song at their funerals. I can barely make it 10 seconds into the song before the tears appear. As far as I'm concerned, this powerful song carries more heart felt meaning and honor than any I've ever heard. And in the end.....more grief.

USS George C Marshall SSBN 654. EM1(SS). I find myself tearing up every time I read about a boat going down regardless of the country it represented (Argentina, Russia, Great Britain etc). Reminds me of a poem i found in the ship’s library 50 years ago that I never forgot. “ No dust have I to cover me, my grave no man may know, my tomb is this unending sea, and I lie far below. My fate O’ stranger was to drown, God’s Will had made it so, and where it is the boat went down, is what the sea birds know.” Thank you Admiral Thomas Dykers for telling the stories of our boats in WW2 on You Tube “The Silent Service”.

I remember hearing this as a young submarine sailor in Groton some years ago, being a flag holder in the Sub vets memorial. Seeing all the remaining ww2 vets and the generations after still as loving to their country and comrades as ever. The pride was thick in the air. I had a hard time holding my composure as the song played. Afterwards, an old hand pat me on the shoulder and to my surprise, an old ww2 vet looks me in the eye and says, "thank you son, were proud of you boys, give em hell!!" I will never forget that day.

[@swdw973]

It's actually the Navy Hymm, not just the submarine hymm. Yes I was on the boats in the 70's and 80's and think the song is appropriate for what we did. Just want to keep the record straight. It was adopted before subs existed as life on the sea in sailing ships was hazardous. From an article on it: "The adoption of the hymn for devotional use and benedictions in the armed services was first recorded in 1879. In that year, Lieutenant Commander Charles Jackson Train was a navigation instructor at the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis and the master of the Midshipman Choir. Train began the practice of concluding Divine Services with the 1861 version of the hymn every Sunday, whereby it eventually became an academy, and then a service-wide, tradition, becoming known as the Navy Hymn. The lyrics were altered to suit changes in the culture and technology of the navy.[7] Additional variants have been written, often to specifically represent a particular branch of naval service.[8] Adoption of the hymn by the Royal Navy may have occurred earlier than its use in the United States. Although no clear records exist for its first use, the hymn was in widespread use by the 1890s in the Royal Navy.[citation needed] An extra verse was added during World War I to reflect the introduction of the Royal Naval Air Service.[citation needed] The result today is a hymn somewhat different to its American counterpart, with the optional verse for specific service branches being sung between the second and third verses."

[@chrismc410]

"Eternal Father Strong To Save" always sounds great when any brass band plays it, military or otherwise. If you are a true patriot of Australia, and have Facebook, stick it on the wall, to remind a certain religion that we respect our fallen servicemen and women, and nothing is going to stop us. And for that reason, our military hymns mean more to us.whereas, it used to just be for remembrance days. I had 3 close reasons...my uncle fought as a desert rat near Tobruk, and then brought back closer to home to do the Kokoda trail or track, passed away a couple of years ago, Granddad in the RAN, passed away in the 60's, and my father who has just passed away later last year, served in the RAAF. I am proud of them all. And while on the subject of remembering the fallen, those cretins who deface our war memorials should get 5 years gaol for every bit of desecration they cause. That should keep them out of the way for a few years hopefully. The make me sick to the stomach!!

It's an Anglosphere 'thing' if you like. All those countries whose primary language is English because of the Empire will know this hymn. Aussies.

It is for this reason that abandoning our brethren in 1972 for the EEC (later the EC then EU) was a shameful and dis-honourable act. Post Brexit we can look forward to retying those bonds.
