<Dd> Glad hymns of praise from land and sea . </Dd> <P> Certain verses have been changed in modern hymnals for various reasons . The first verse refers to God the Father's forbidding the waters to flood the earth as described in Psalm 104 . The second verse refers to Jesus' miracles of stilling a storm and walking on the waters of the Sea of Galilee . The third verse references the Holy Spirit's role in the creation of the earth in the Book of Genesis, while the final verse is a reference to Psalm 107 . </P> <P> The adoption of the hymn for devotional use and benedictions in the armed services was first recorded in 1879 . In that year, Lieutenant Commander Charles Jackson Train was a navigation instructor at the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis and the master of the Midshipman Choir . Train began the practice of concluding Divine Services with the 1861 version of the hymn every Sunday, whereby it eventually became an academy, and then a service - wide, tradition, becoming known as the Navy Hymn . The lyrics were altered to suit changes in the culture and technology of the navy . Additional variants have been written, often to specifically represent a particular branch of naval service . </P> <P> Adoption of the hymn by the Royal Navy may have occurred earlier than its use in the United States, though no clear records exist for when the hymn was first used . However, the hymn was in widespread use by the 1890s in the British naval services, though it was felt the text did not succinctly capture the experience of the navy enough and the wording has thus evolved . An extra verse was added during World War I to reflect the introduction of the Royal Naval Air Service . The result today is a hymn somewhat different from its American counterpart, with the optional fifth verse for specific service branches being sung between the second and third verses . </P>
