I recently attended an organ recital in Chatham, MA and was very disappointed at the way Hymn #608 (1982 Hymnal) was played. "Eternal Father, Strong to Save" should be played the way Mr. Phoenix played it; with great emotion. Thank you sir! e
I am thinking of a little child who recently had her life support withdrawn and yesterday she passed away. God bless her and keep her and comfort those who grieve. I think she was nine months old.
My grandfather played the Grandfather Willis Organ at Blenheim Palace. He bought a church organ from a derelict church, took out the floor above the organ for the pipes and fitted a removable handle for the bellows as it crossed the doorway. He paid my dad and several of his mates 6 pence an hour to pump the thing. He died due to the gas from WW1 not long after.
My grandfather was conscripted and sent to Manchuria in mainland China. He was promoted for military merit from private to sergeant major. He returned to mainland Japan and was later dispatched to the Pacific islands with his subordinates and comrades-in-arms. On that island he fought to the death with the US Marines. He suffered gunshot wounds through both thighs and was on the verge of death, but miraculously survived. He began to travel to Hawaii soon after the war, and he fell in love with it. He took me to Pearl Harbor when he traveled to Hawaii with his grandson. On the spot, he paid tribute to the brave men of both the Japanese and American armies with the Imperial Japanese Army-style salute to which he belonged. Long live the alliance of friendship and trust between Japan and the United States that overcame deadly battles.
Are there sufficient adjectives to describe the glory of this great hymn played so beautifully here? There are none. May God our Saviour keep us in these difficult days and continue to bless the United States of America. Watching from Wales, UK.
Thank you very much for the wonderful performance. I often hear this song in movies, but being Japanese, I had no idea what it was about. But with the video and lyrics you posted this time, I could understand it better. Once again, I would like to say "Thank you very much!".
Thank you so much. The Keyboards are from Midiworks.ca, the CMK-3 cherry wood keyboards. I really like them, good feel and touch. The pedalboard belongs to the organ console that you see. I had to change it to MIDI so it was compatible with Hauptwerk.
The White Star Line's unsinkable passenger ship RMS Titanic hits an iceberg in the North Atlantic Ocean on April 15th, 1912. The captain and the crewmembers and the officers and the passengers have perished.
Superb rendition loved it Seth. Think I first heard this hymn when I was a kid on one of my mother's LP records. Have loved it ever since. Rarely played iton organ to lead a congregation (but love playing it for myself) and have played it on Bb baritone horn in brass band most Anzac days.
This the hymn of the Royal (British) Navy. It was played at Queen Victoria's funeral in 1901, King George V's funeral, at King George VI's funeral in 1952, at Queen Mary's funeral in 1953, at Sir Winston Churchill's funeral in 1965 , and at Lord Mountbatten's funeral in 1997. In keeping with British tradition, it is played after "O, God Our Hope in Ages Past" and is followed by "I Vow to Thee My Country".
I noticed in most British renditions, that the choir or orchestral "Amen" is not sang/performed, and on most American renditions, it is. Always wondered why that was.
My husband LT Commander deceased served 20 years in the Navy her burst with pride when this hymn was played. I felt his allegiance to the Navy. As a wife I has felt pride when hearing this hymn. 🇺🇸

This is a lovely hymn. I love the organ accompaniment!

Lovely!
What keyboards and pedalboard do you use?
Thank you so much.

Thank you so much for listening and subscribing. This hymn is a favorite of mine as well and I'm happy my friend requested that I record it.
How totally beautiful. I am 80 years old and heard this played at Pearl Harbor in 1962.
Thank you. It must have been very moving hearing it at Pearl Harbor.
Well played indeed! Thank you for your dedication to this most difficult of instruments and keeping the music alive, as well!!
Thank you so much.
Dad was a WWII sailor. This was played at his funeral. I always respond with emotion.
Thank you for your comment. My father was also a WWII sailor.
Oh Trinity of Love and Power, our Brethren shield in danger's hour! ❤❤❤

Thank you for the insight.
Was also performed at the funeral of Prince Philip, King Charles III's father
beautiful~~~👍👍👍
Thank you so much.
For those in peril on the sea...........
Yes.
Thank you for listening and commenting.
I noticed in most British renditions, that the choir or orchestral "Amen" is not sang/performed, and on most American renditions, it is. Always wondered why that was.
Must say, hadn't noticed this. But in Australian Navy of yore, we didn't sing Amen.@@chrismc410
How can do you get the organ sounds. Like what website
Thanks for listening. I use a virtual pipe organ program you can buy from www.hauptwerk.com/ .
My husband LT Commander deceased served 20 years in the Navy her burst with pride when this hymn was played. I felt his allegiance to the Navy. As a wife I has felt pride when hearing this hymn. 🇺🇸
Thank you for your comment. I'm glad it brings back memories for you.
So well played. It’s often played in the Episcopal services. Thank you.
Thank you so much.
