The Royal Navy hymn in an empty Portsmouth Cathedral, in a moving tribute to HRH The Duke of Edinburgh. ‘Eternal Father, Strong to Save’ was a favourite hymn of Prince Philip, and has a deep connection to the Navy and seafarers, blessing their voyages at sea. As the longest-serving consort to the monarch makes his final journey, Alexandra Stevenson - Soprano and organist David Price perform it in tribute. | Classic FM

Eternal Father Strong to Save Whose arm hath bound the restless wave, Who bid'st the mighty ocean deep Its own appointed limits keep; O hear us when we cry to Thee, For those in peril on the sea. | Porthleven Town Band

“Eternal Father, Strong to Save” is known as The Navy Hymn, a powerful prayer for protection over those at sea, and a song of comfort for those left behind🙏🏻 It’s been sung on ships, in churches, and at military funerals for generations. Today, I offer it as a tribute… for every hero we remember this Memorial Day. May this hymn bring peace to you❤️🙏🏻 | Rosemary Siemens
