Musical Interlude of the day

one of the saddest and most beautiful hymns:






Rev.Sensing has copied his powerpoint of the lyrics and took this photo of the Pearl Harbor Memorial"



Wikipedia article on how the hymn was written, and various versions...and includes this note:

This hymn was among those sung at a Church Service aboard the Royal Navy battleship HMS Prince of Wales attended by Winston Churchill (who requested that the hymn be sung) and Franklin D. Roosevelt at the conference creating the Atlantic Charter.[4] It was also the last song sung during the Sunday, 14th of April Church Service aboard the RMS Titanic just hours before it sank.[5
