Text year

  • Enter the year the text was written if the hymnal gives it.
  • Do not put the person's life dates here even if the text was obviously written in this time period, instead add these after the person's name.
  • Include in this field any notes that the text was altered or abridged after the hymn was written, after the year if it is given, or alone if no year is given, as in "1879, alt."
