Belated Easter, everyone. We had Honey Baked ham.

 

Same here and man was it good!

 

That hymn is the champion tear jerker I have ever known and that includes me. Six of my friends from Coronado lost their Naval Aviator dads and when that hymn was sung, there was not a dry eye in the place. Just about every funeral for military members has that and it breaks the ice on holding back emotions.

Eternal Father, Strong to Save
(The Navy Hymn)

Eternal Father, strong to save,
Whose arm hath bound the restless wave,
Who bidd'st the mighty ocean deep
Its own appointed limits keep,
O hear us when we cry to thee
For those in peril on the sea!

O Christ! Whose voice the waters heard
And hushed their raging at thy word,
Who walkedst on the foaming deep,
And calm amidst its rage didst sleep,
O hear us when we cry to thee,
For those in peril on the sea!

Most Holy Spirit! Who didst brood
Upon the chaos dark and rude,
And bid its angry tumult cease,
And give, for wild confusion, peace,
O hear us when we cry to thee
For those in peril on the sea!

Eternal Father, grant, we pray,
To all Marines, both night and day,
The courage, honor, strength, and skill
Their land to serve, thy law fulfill;
Be thou the shield forevermore
From every peril to the Corps.

Lord, guard and guide the ones who fly
Through the great spaces in the sky.
Be with them always in the air,
In darkening storms or sunlight fair.
Oh hear us when we lift our prayer,
For those in peril in the air.

Lord God, our power evermore,
Whose arm doth reach the ocean floor,
Dive with our men beneath the sea;
Traverse the depths protectively.
Oh hear us when we pray, and keep
Them safe from peril in the deep.

Eternal Father, King of birth,
Who didst create the heaven and earth,
And bid the planets and the sun
Their own appointed orbits run;
O hear us when we seek thy grace
From those who soar through outer space.




Our brethren shield in danger's hour;
from rock and tempest, fire and foe,
protect them wheresoe'er they go; Cosmo!

 

With Honey Baked Champagne Mustard.

 

My friends gave me quite a bit of leftover Easter ham and I think I’m finally just about to the end of it, I’ve been eating it everyday.
