Date

For each instance, enter the date the hymn was written or composed as given in the hymnal. If there is an "alt." (altered), "mod." (modernized), etc., include it after the date, separated by a comma. If there is an "alt." but no date, just put the "alt." in the date field.

Examples:

  • 1826, alt.
  • 7th century
  • c. 1826
  • about 1540
