Nimrod the Hunter by Elgar - Prince Phillip Funeral Service

[KT2000]

1. One of the most beautiful

pieces ever written.

[Glorfindel]

2. Psalm 107, verses 23-30

The Sailor’s Psalm

"They that go down to the sea in ships
and occupy their business in great waters;
these men see the works of the Lord and His wonders in the deep.
For at His word the stormy wind ariseth which lifteth up the waters thereof.
They are carried up to heaven and down again to the deep;
their soul melteth away because of the trouble.
They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits’ end.
So when they cry unto the Lord in their trouble,
He delivereth them out of their distress.
For He maketh the storm to cease so that the waves thereof are still.
Then are they glad because they are at rest;
and so He bringeth them unto the haven where they would be."

[JoeOtterbein]

3. You made me wonder why Green Day called one album "Nimrod", here is the answer:

As for Nimrod, Billie explains, "There's this guy named Nimrod in the Bible who tried to fool God in Babylon, or something like that," Armstrong said. "It fits.We're kind of moronic."
