[edit] Not notable

Re the not notable tag placed on this article. This hymn is one of the most notable hymns there is. The author and the book it is from are both greatly notable. IMO the tag should be removed ASAP. -- SGBailey 22:37, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

I added the tag because the text of the article is pretty sparse, and the article should not consist solely of the text (see WP:L&P). If it is so notable (it might be more popular in some circles than others), there should be more to say about it. Compare, for instance, "Rock of Ages," "When_I_Survey_the_Wondrous_Cross," and "O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing." --Flex 02:15, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

I have added more to this article and removed the tag (sorry I forgot to log in before doing this). It is a notable hymn if for no other reason than the title has entered the English language.Philip Marshall

How is an unsung hymn notable? Isn't that sort of like an unread book? I would think that saying that it is mostly unsung these days is sort of like saying it is unknown/unnotable. DOn't get me wrong, I hold Bunyon in the highest regard ... I just don't know that this particular effort of his is his lasting legacy. Pastordavid 06:14, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
