- Eternal Father, Strong to Save ist ein Geistliches Lied, das häufig mit der Royal Navy, United States Navy und United States Marine Corps assoziiert wird. Es wird auch die Royal Navy Hymn oder United States Navy Hymn genannt. Das ursprüngliche Lied wurde 1860 von William Whiting aus Winchester, England geschrieben. Eigentlich war es als Gedicht für einen Studenten von ihm gedacht, der in die USA reisen wollte. 1861 komponierte John Bacchus Dykes, ein anglikanischer Geistlicher, die Melodie „Melita“ für das Gedicht. „Melita“ ist ein archaischer Ausdruck für Malta, die antike Seefahrernation und Schauplatz des Schiffbruchs des Apostels Paulus, welcher in der Apostelgeschichte beschrieben ist. Die ersten drei Strophen sind trinitarisch geordnet. Die erste Strophe ist eine Referenz zu Psalm 104, in dem Gott der Schöpfer den Wassern der Erde verbietet, diese wiederum zu überfluten. Die zweite Strophe bezieht sich auf zwei Wunder Jesu, die Sturmstillung und sein Wandel auf dem Wasser des Sees Genezareth. Die dritte Strophe erwähnt die Rolle des Heiligen Geistes in der Schöpfungsgeschichte des Buch Genesis und die letzte Strophe ist wiederum eine Referenz auf Psalm 107. Winston Churchill verlangte, dass das Lied vor der Erklärung der Atlantik-Charta in einem Gottesdienst auf der HMS Prince of Wales, bei dem auch US-Präsident Franklin D. Roosevelt anwesend war, gesungen wurde. Die Hymne wurde auf zahlreichen Beerdigungen von ehemaligen Angehörigen der Navy und Politikern in Großbritannien und den USA gesungen oder gespielt, so auch bei Franklin D. Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, Gerald Ford, George H. W. Bush und Prinz Phillip. (de)
- "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. It was popularised by the Royal Navy and the United States Navy in the late 19th century, and variations of it were soon adopted by many branches of the armed services in the United Kingdom and the United States. Services who have adapted the hymn include the Royal Marines, Royal Air Force, the British Army, the United States Coast Guard, United States Marine Corps and the United States Space Force, as well as the navies of many Commonwealth realms. Accordingly, it is known by many names, variously referred to as the Hymn of His Majesty's Armed Forces, the Royal Navy Hymn, the United States Navy Hymn (or simply The Navy Hymn), and sometimes by the last line of its first verse, "For Those in Peril on the Sea". The hymn has a long tradition in civilian maritime contexts as well, being regularly invoked by ship's chaplains and sung during services on ocean crossings. (en)
- Eternal Father, Strong to Save is een hymne van uit 1860, die vaak geassocieerd wordt met zeelieden en marinemensen in het bijzonder. Whiting werd geïnspireerd tot het schrijven van de hymne door de in Psalm 107 beschreven gevaren van de zee. Aan het eind van de 19e eeuw kwam het lied in gebruik bij de Royal Navy en de United States Navy, waarna ook andere Engelse en Amerikaanse krijgsmachtdelen het gingen gebruiken: de Royal Marines, Royal Air Force, British Army, United States Coast Guard, United States Marine Corps en diverse marines uit de Gemenebest van Naties. Daardoor is de hymne onder verschillende namen bekend, waaronder Hymn of Her Majesty's Armed Forces, de Royal Navy Hymn, de United States Navy Hymn (of kortweg The Navy Hymn), en soms wordt gerefereerd aan de laatste regel van de eerste strofe, "For Those in Peril on the Sea". Het lied wordt ook veel gebruikt bij de koopvaardij. (nl)
- Eternal Father, Strong to Save è un inno associato alla Royal Navy, alla Marina degli Stati Uniti e agli United States Marine Corps. Di conseguenza, è spesso conosciuto come il Royal Navy Hymn (Inno della Marina Reale) o United States Navy Hymn Inno della Marina degli Stati Uniti (The Hymn Navy). Talvolta è conosciuto dall'ultima riga del suo primo versetto, "For Those in Peril on the Sea". Storia: L'inno originale è stato scritto da William Whiting di Winchester, in Inghilterra, nel 1860. È stato originariamente concepito come una poesia per un suo allievo, che stava per recarsi negli Stati Uniti. Nel 1861, John B. Dykes, un pastore anglicano, compose il brano "Melita" per questo inno. "Melita" è un termine arcaico per Malta, un antico popolo marinaro e il sito di un naufragio che coinvolge l'apostolo Paolo menzionato negli Atti degli Apostoli (capitoli 27-28). Testo: le parole originali sono: Eternal Father, strong to save,Whose arm hath bound the restless wave,Who bidd'st the mighty ocean deepIts own appointed limits keep;Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee,For those in peril on the sea!O Christ! Whose voice the waters heardAnd hushed their raging at Thy word,Who walkedst on the foaming deep,And calm amidst its rage didst sleep;Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee,For those in peril on the sea!Most Holy Spirit! Who didst broodUpon the chaos dark and rude,And bid its angry tumult cease,And give, for wild confusion, peace;Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee,For those in peril on the sea!O Trinity of love and power!Our brethren shield in danger's hour;From rock and tempest, fire and foe,Protect them wheresoe'er they go;Thus evermore shall rise to TheeGlad hymns of praise from land and sea.O Trinity of love and power!Our brethren shield in danger's hour;From rock and tempest, fire and foe,Protect them wheresoe'er they go;Thus evermore shall rise to TheeGlad hymns of praise from land and sea. Alcuni versi sono stati modificati in inni moderni per vari motivi.Il primo verso si riferisce al Dio Padre che vieta le acque per inondare la terra, come descritto nel Salmo 104. La seconda strofa si riferisce a miracoli di Gesù 'di calmare una tempesta e camminare sulle acque del Mar di Galilea. I riferimenti terza strofa dello Spirito Santo ruolo nella creazione della terra nel Libro della Genesi, mentre il verso finale è un riferimento al Salmo 107. Versione dell'US Episcopal Church:Nel 1940, la Chiesa Episcopale degli Stati Uniti alterati tre versi dell'inno di includere lo spostamento del terreno nella seconda strofa (riferimento Salmo 50) e in aria nella terza strofa (di nuovo riferimento Genesis). Il Hymnal 1982, che è attualmente in uso dalla maggior parte delle congregazioni episcopali negli Stati Uniti, ha ulteriormente rivisto questa versione (come Inno # 579), con apertura linea "Padre onnipotente, forte per salvare ..." aggiungendo la parola "spazio" al verso finale, in modo che finisca "lode Glad dallo spazio, aria, terra e mare" (perché nel 1982 i viaggi nello spazio è una realtà), la Hymnal ha anche una più tradizionale versione solo acqua (come Inno # 608), con apertura linea "Eterno Padre, forte per salvare ..."La versione del 1940 - che incorpora mare, terra e aria (ma non lo spazio) - è la seguente: SEALS Eternal Father, faithful friend,Be swift to answer those we sendIn brotherhood and urgent trustOn hidden missions dangerousO hear us when we cry to TheeFor Seals in air, on land, and sea.

Veterani risalenti alla Seconda Guerra Mondiale cantano "Armed Forces Hymn" presso i servizi della Chiesa negli Stati Uniti e all'estero. L'inno era una versione modificata dell'originale inno Navy "Padre Eterno forte da salvare". Con i suoi splendidi versi significativi e forte appello per la protezione, evocava una forte risposta emotiva da quelli cantare l'inno. Mentre si prepara un servizio funebre per il suo amico, il colonnello Delbert Townsend, un paracadutista pluridecorato, il colonnello John Kormann resi conto che ci sono stati ulteriori adattamenti per l'inno di base. Oltre alla Marina, c'erano versi ora per l'esercito, l'Air Force, i Marines, la Guardia Costiera, gli astronauti, Seabees, infermieri, SEALS, ecc Costernato che ha trovato nessuna parola di "Padre Eterno" per la "Airborne ", Kormann, ex presidente dell'Associazione 17ª Divisione Airborne, ha proceduto a cambiare un verso e aggiungere alcune parole. A una riunione di veterani Airborne in Lancaster, PA, il 7 marzo 2010, il colonnello Kormann formalmente proposto che la seconda strofa dell'inno, come modificato (di seguito), saranno adottati ed inclusi in "Padre Eterno", da cantare, come del caso, presso i servizi per i veterani Airborne. È così stato scritto l'"Inno Airborne". (it)
