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 United States Navy; and

Whereas, many members of The United Methodist Church served in the United States 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 United Methodist hymnal;

Therefore, be it resolved, that the 1996 General Conference of The United Methodist Church instruct the United Methodist Publishing House to include the hymn "Eternal Father, Strong to Save" in the next printing of The United Methodist Hymnal
