Name these hymn-writers!
One aspect of copying hymns onto blog posts is curiosity about who these people are.
Apart from favorites like Luther and Gerhardt, there are obscure last names (for me) like How and Ken.
Norma A. Boeckler is contributing her beautiful graphics, and several have volunteered to help edit.
I intend to link their hymns, to provide information and graphics about them. But first I am getting the hymn texts posted, as long as they are public domain.
Some translators are revered for having so many good translations of hymns - Catherine Winkworth and John Mason Neale are the best examples.
I wanted an easily linked source since the old one is now in the Internet cedar chest, the Wayback Machine.
