No matter the cut-off date...
every era has stinker songs (sacred and otherwise) that survive.
Inexplicably! (of course, that's my own personal tastes talkin'!)

I was going to say, except for "For All the Saints", but Wikipedia tells me it was published in 1864. Just under the wire.
I want it sung at my funeral, with the Ralph Vaughn Williams tune.
Thou wast their Rock, their Fortress and their Might;
Thou, Lord, their Captain in the well fought fight;
Thou, in the darkness drear, their one true Light.
Alleluia, Alleluia!
