Why does the Children's Hymnal version of “None is like God, who reigns above” cause the text comparison software such grief, while the almost identical Cyber Hymnal text is much less problematic? https://hymnary.org/text/none_is_like_god_who_reigns_above/compare?selected=LH1855-79a&compare=CYBER-4581#

It is not grief, it is just different arrangements and word substitutions. “Cyber Hymnal” when compared to ‘Linden Harp" does not include the refrain and substitutes “He” for “God.” “Children's Hymnbook” when compared to "Linden Harp" also does not have the refrain, but uses the refrain that is in ‘Linden Harp" as it’s third verse; so the text of the refrain is included. Verse 2 is the same, but they are in different places.
