    Personally, I think the date in the ID should reflect the date of the edition indexed. In particular the notion that the 1854 edition of the Southern Harmony is the 1835 edition has been an ongoing irritant to me since I first noticed that what was being passed off as 1835 <i>wasn't</i>.

    This was a DNAH hymnal. A DNAH indexer evidently indexed a version with the 1820 date. The version that was scanned for us and that we worked from was a stereotyped, enlarged, and improved edition dated 1826; so we improved on the DNAH version. We usually do not worry about the dates in hymnal ids that came to us through the DNAH migration.

    This poem has been set to music but not published. An 11-year-old fit it to the tune “Solicitude” meter 8.8.8.6 with refrain and campaigned for revival at his father's small country store. Many copies of this have been passed out to customers. You can find the tune in several different hymnals, such as “HYMNS OF THE CHURCH” and “THE CHURCH HYMNAL”. Hope this helps.

    It worked for me to add “Hymnal 1940” to “My Hymnals” so it should work for you. You will need to be logged in. I searched for the hymnal (HEPC1940) and then clicked the link found under the Index box that says “Add to my hymnals”

    It doesn't seem possible to add the Hymnal 1940 to "My Hymnals".  Can that be changed?  My church still uses that hymnal.   Thanks.
