"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.
The "Marines' Hymn" is the official hymn of the United States Marine Corps, introduced by the first director of the USMC Band, Francesco Maria Scala.Its music originates from an 1867 work by Jacques Offenbach with the lyrics added by an anonymous author at an unknown time in the following years.
"O sanctissima" (O most holy) is a Roman Catholic hymn in Latin, seeking the prayers of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and often sung in various languages on her feast days.The earliest known publication was from London in 1792, presenting it as a traditional song from Sicily; no original source or date has been confirmed for the simple melody or poetic text.

Paschasius Radbertus in the 9th century has an allegorical explanation of the name, writing that Mary is the "Star of the Sea" to be followed on the way to Christ, "lest we capsize amid the storm-tossed waves of the sea."
And the song of our hearts shall be, While the wind and the water rave. A life on the heaving sea, A home on the bounding wave. (Chorus) A life on the ocean wave, A home on the rolling deep, Where the scattered waters rave, and the winds their revels keep, The winds, the winds, the winds their revels keep,
