Eternal Father, Strong to Save" is a British hymn traditionally associated with seafarers, particularly in the maritime armed services. Written in 1860, its author, William Whiting , was inspired by the dangers of the sea described in Psalm 107 .
Whiting is best known for "Eternal Father, Strong to Save". [3] It is used by the Royal Navy for church services and was adopted by the United States Naval Academy, and so is often called "The Navy Hymn". [4] He also published two poetry collections: Rural Thoughts (1851) [3] Edgar Thorpe, or the Warfare of Life (1867) [2]
Verse 1 - to the Father who created and controls the sea (Job 38:10-11), Verse 2 to the Son who has power to control the element of nature (Matthew 8:23-27), Verse 3 to the Spirit, who at the creation of the world, "brooded over the face of the waters" (Genesis 1)
In 1943, several of these verses were added to the Navy Hymn. [7] God guard and guide us as we fly Through the great spaces of the sky; Be with us as we take to air In morning light and sunshine fair. Eternal Father, strong to save, Give us courage and make us brave; Protect us whereso'er we go, From shell and flak and fire and foe.
