1 Eternal Father, strong to save, Whose arm does bind the restless wave, Who bids the mighty ocean deep Its own appointed limits keep; O hear us when we cry to Thee For those in peril on the sea. 2 O Savior, whose almighty word The winds and waves submissive heard, Who walked upon the foaming deep, And calm amid the rage did sleep; O hear us when we cry to Thee For those in peril on the sea. 3 O Holy Spirit, who did brood Upon the waters dark and rude, And bid their angry tumult cease, And give for wild confusion peace; O hear us when we cry to Thee For those in peril on the sea. 4 O Trinity of love and power, Your children shield in danger's hour; From rock and tempest, fire, and foe, Protect them where-so-e'er they go; Thus, evermore shall rise to Thee Glad hymns of praise from land and sea.
You’re going to hear this hymn every September 8 in Galveston, Texas. The reason? The day is the anniversary of The Great Hurricane of 1900 that obliterated much of the city and killed 13000 people
The song is a prayer to God as if sung on the deck of a ship in peril in a violent storm. Orchestra and choir is not conveying that feeling. Cadence should be faster and in time as if with ship’s prow as I crashes down into each new wave.
Too bad the quality of this recording does NOT do this performance justice. This is TERRIBLE! This was a beautiful performance, ruined for us by the TERRIBLE recording quality. I am SUPER ANGRY about this. Why? Why even bother??????????????????
where were you? why weren't you there to do a better job of recording this? oh that's right. you were sitting on your couch eating chocolate bon-bons and bitching about other people's recordings
Lovely. The gentle quiet approach changes the feeling of the hymn. It's beautiful -- like an elegy.
I'm so happy that the French have not forgotten. Viva la France.
have not forgotten what?

Can't wait for the 2024 80th Anniversary!!!
1 Eternal Father, strong to save,
Whose arm does bind the restless wave,
Who bids the mighty ocean deep
Its own appointed limits keep;
O hear us when we cry to Thee
For those in peril on the sea.
2 O Savior, whose almighty word
The winds and waves submissive heard,
Who walked upon the foaming deep,
And calm amid the rage did sleep;
O hear us when we cry to Thee
For those in peril on the sea.
3 O Holy Spirit, who did brood
Upon the waters dark and rude,
And bid their angry tumult cease,
And give for wild confusion peace;
O hear us when we cry to Thee
For those in peril on the sea.
4 O Trinity of love and power,
Your children shield in danger's hour;
From rock and tempest, fire, and foe,
Protect them where-so-e'er they go;
Thus, evermore shall rise to Thee
Glad hymns of praise from land and sea.

unfortunate placement of that snare drum - must be 3 feet from the microphone
Music is great, but the recording is way off. What kind of recording is this?! It has completely ruined it.
because obviously you could do better. the question is, why didn't you?

says the master of all music, because of course music is meant to have one single interpretation. right. thou shall not provide dissent. yes master!
Not much peril from these slow rolling, almost placid, waves and breakers!
Don't be fooled.

Far too slow. It’s like a funeral March.
It's a prayer.
