Text of: 30683-FA-NonDis-O

Whereas, the hymn, "Eternal Father, Strong to Save" is important to members of the United States Navy, having been classified as the "official hymn" of the U.S. Navy; and

Whereas, many members of the United Methodist Church served in the U.S. Navy; and

Whereas, this hymn is an appropriate prayer for all those who earn their living by working on the oceans of the world; and

Whereas, this hymn appeared in the most recent Methodist Hymnal,

Therefore, be it resolved by the 2000 General Conference that the publishing house is hereby instructed to include the hymn "Eternal Father, Strong to Save" in the next printing of the United Methodist Hymnal.
