Eternal Father, Strong to Save is the name of the poem set to the music of John Bacchus Dykes called Melita after the island of Malta where Paul was shipwrecked. The lyrics (not included here) and the music have strong associations with sailors and seafarers, particularly the navies of the United States and Great Britain and is also known as the Hymn of Her Majesty's Armed Forces, the Royal Navy Hymn, and the United States Navy Hymn. Often played at funerals and memorial services, it was included in funerals of Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt, Richard Nixon, and  John F. Kennedy. This Intermediate arrangement is for string trio (violin 1 and 2 and cello). Separate sheets for each instrument are included. The violin 2 part is also suitable for the viola. Other string ensemble arrangements by McIntire available at sheetmusicplus are Ebenezer, What Wondrous Love is This, and Ode to Joy by Beethoven.
An MP3 audio version of this arrangement is also available at sheetmusicplus.
