It's name is Eternal Father, but it's also known as the Navy Hymn. It's sung at Navy Funerals and memorial services as well as services for sailors of all kinds.
My heart is on the sea, so it really hits a nerve.
It makes me cry everytime I hear it.

I'm not being pedantic - but I think it comes from a hymn called "For those in peril on the sea"!

Eternal father strong to save. Apparently it was Roosevelts favourite Hymn..
