| Summary | "Eternal Father, Strong to Save" by John Bacchus Dykes is a hymn commonly referred to as the "Navy Hymn," composed in the late 19th century. This piece of music serves as a poignant prayer for sailors and those who venture out to sea, reflecting themes of faith and divine protection. The hymn expresses a heartfelt appeal to God for the safety of mariners, emphasizing the relationship between faith and the dangers of the ocean.
