Late ping!
Sorry! I've been very busy with holidays and new business ventures!
Classical Music Ping List ping!
Thanks for the ping - as a person who has studied music history, this article was very informative. As a Methodist, I grew up singing this hymn in church every year, and, as the article mentions, I see the Methodists are responsible for its "break-through" in the 1930's by publishing it in the hymnal.
Good luck in your new ventures!
