Use of "I" on unsigned tab?

In the hymn-of-the-month treatment of "For the beauty of the earth", under "For Leaders", the "Worship Ideas" tab begins with this:

Most hymnals today include four or five verses of the original eight. The Psalter Hymnal leaves out this verse, which is included in many other hymnals:

     For the church that evermore
     Lifteth holy hands above,
     Offering up on every shore
     Her pure sacrifice of love.

I think this is a beautiful verse simply because it acknowledges that the church is a gift – we did not come together on our own accord or through our own initiatives, but rather God has given us communion with each other through the body of Christ. This is truly something to be celebrated.

Who is the "I" who offers this thought? Is it Laura de Jong, who signed the "Bulletin Blurb" tab? Is it "verhulst" who announces the feature to the world? If I want to quote that thought, whom should I credit? "Hymnary.org in its anthropomorphic phase"? ;-)

The "I" is Laura de Jong.
