I've heard this hymn sung at many funerals. Mostly for fallen comrades. It also brings me to tears. I am grateful that the OSU Band has such a stirring performance of this very dear to my heart hymn.

Thank you for your service, Navy. Fair winds and following seas, even if you're landlocked now.
This was freaking AWESOME ! I'm former Navy and I learned this song in boot camp when I was in the Navel Training Center Blue Jacket's Choir. So boot camp for me wasn't just boot camp!
Once again I have to listen to this great rendition of the Navy Hymn. I am always lifted into worship and adoration of my Father in heaven and my King and Lord Jesus Christ. I remember my dad's service in WW II in the US Navy. RIP Dad. I miss you so much.
My father served in the Navy too during WW 2. I first heard this hymn when I was 13 listening to it during JFK's funeral. It brought tears to me instantly. Like you I am devoted Christian who loves Jesus Christ King and Lord
I've been to one of those skull sessions as a member of the Marshall University Marching Thunder. It was a surreal experience that I will never forget.
I got to attend a skull session and a football game in Columbus earlier this year, but this time as a fan 20 years after attending as a member of the Marching Thunder. It was just as awesome this year as it was 20 years ago. I now watch the skull session live stream here on RUclips before every home game. Go Bucks! Go Herd! Thanks to all the military veterans for their service to our country.
I am an OSU grad and spent two years in Navy ROTC as battalion bugler etc. but went Coast Guard upon graduation. I played in the Buckeye Scarlet band but not the marching band. The Coast Guard Hymn is the same with slightly different lyrics: Eternal Father Lord of Hosts...Watch or the men who Guard our coasts...Protect them from the raging seas and give them light and life and peace...grant them from thy great throne above the shield (also a reference to the Coast Guard shield emblem)and shelter of thy love...Amen. At skull session I always sing those lyrics. The band brings me to tears every time I hear this.
The original hymn was British. It was decidedly Christian, with the following three verses referring to the Son, the Holy Spirit, and the Trinity. Typically only the first verse is played in a military context in this country, which makes it more universal. In addition to the Coast Guard verse, there are verses for every branch of the military, ) (the Navy band always includes the verse about the Marines) for specific military units, for astronauts, and for families that remain at home. I am sure God approves, as He loves them all.
Hooyah! As a Navy veteran, this is one of my favorite hymns. Much like David Winslager stated four years ago, it brings me to tears as well. Just an outstanding job well done! 🫡⚓️
Every Sunday at chapel everyone at our college sang this song by heart. Last November, I went back to campus to visit with my classmates for a weekend. It had been fifty years since we first met as plebes. On Sunday we went back to the chapel to hear the roll call of all those classmates who have passed before us. At the conclusion of the service we sang the Navy Hymn - once again by heart. I cannot help but cry every time I hear it - a reminder of bonds formed long ago. My senior year roommate married a wonderful girl who graduated from OSU. Thank you for a wonderful performance. And, yes, I cried. CAPT, USN (Ret), US Naval Academy, class of 1975.
Thank you so much for your presentation. My dad was a Korean War Navy Veteran and the Navy hymn always gets my tear ducts into hyper drive. NICELY DONE!
@@rickklein7792 Yes that's correct, if you watch the video "JFK's Funeral" here in youtube, you'll see a huge navy presentation through out his funeral, but not only the navy but also the army, marines, coast guard and the air force also honored him. You can hear the tune being played when his casket is carried in but actually it's the audio they put into that scene because it was really played when the soldiers folded the flag just before wrapping up the funeral.
Please forgive me ignorance but is there a connection between OSU and the USN? My understanding is that it's not uncommon for the band to play Eternal Father Strong to Save at their skull sessions. It's a lovely song and they do a wonderful job playing it, but why Eternal Father and why at OSU? The song is generally called the Naval Hymn so I'm wondering if there is a connection between OSU and the USN?
This started at the OSU v Navy game some years back when the Iraq war was going strong. The band started playing and every Navy person in the hall jumped to attention. It was so moving, especially to me, whose son was in Iraq, well it was an instant hit so they play it in honor of ALL Military
I was there the first time they played this song. It was wartime and we played the Navy Academy that day. If you could see the gratitued of the Navy folks there and this Vietnam era Navy Vet, then you woild understand this song was so well received, it has become a staple of the band.
I’m retired Navy and this almost brought tears to my eyes. So beautifully done! Love the bits of the OSU - Naval Hymn history here! This might answer why I see a crowd of Sailors (and other branches) at the foot of the ramp all the time. I kept thinking, “Just how many Sailors and Soldiers does it take to render Colors?!” 🤓⚓️⚓️
I don't care what the music is. If it renders honor and glory to God, as well as remembering our service personnel, it matters not to me who plays it. This piece is a wonderful supplication to Almighty God. Thanks and respect to the OSU Marching Band!
Okay...trying to figure out why Ohio---high in the middle round at the ends-- should be playing this as a featured song...granted lots of Navy men...and women from that state...never mind...
My dad was a Naval officer in the South Pacific during World War Two. They played this at his funeral. I miss him.
As a Navy Vet, im brought to tears, thank you OSU for a wonderful rendition of this blessed hymm
God bless the Ohio State University Band, and God bless America.
Fall 1950 OSU Band member M D McCoy. USN 500 hrs in S-2F Antisubmarine - 29 Aug 2013+ passed. Thank you dad for the gift of life and OSU.
Ohio State Marching Band...you all are a class act and a national treasure.
I’m a US Navy veteran & this always brings me to tears. The first time I heard this was in boot camp the first or second week of boot camp
I've heard this hymn sung at many funerals. Mostly for fallen comrades. It also brings me to tears. I am grateful that the OSU Band has such a stirring performance of this very dear to my heart hymn.
Thank you for your service, Navy. Fair winds and following seas, even if you're landlocked now.
I so agree...
😍
Same here. Proper tempo and flawless presentation ! Thank you !
Thank you so much for this great Hymn of the faith. Well done folks.

One of the best I've heard the band play and sing this piece
Love this hymn, well done, skillful musicians of Ohio❤️🎶🎶🎶👏
Hooyah! As a Navy veteran, this is one of my favorite hymns. Much like David Winslager stated four years ago, it brings me to tears as well. Just an outstanding job well done! 🫡⚓️
This band has excellent voices and are superb instrumentalists. Let's remember that God the Father IS strong to save through Jesus Christ!

This tune reminds me more of John F Kennedy's funeral.
Why? Because he was a Naval Veteran?

@@1979cl1 Do you know JFKs war history?
Wow!!

+G Hill The band plays this at the start of every skull session. The band started as an ROTC band, which is the source of it's military nature.

In memory of the victims of the Great Hurricane of 1900
Bravo Zulu
Okay...trying to figure out why Ohio---high in the middle round at the ends-- should be playing this as a featured song...granted lots of Navy men...and women from that state...never mind...
It's tradition- paying tribute to their roots as a military band.
CLass act…..always!!
