The entries for this hymn are a little confusing, and though I use hymnary.org frequently , maybe I don't know how to read the entries? On the text page, the tune that's printed at the top of the page is UNIVERSAL PRAISE, but it isn't listed further down the page in the pie diagram, though if one clicks on "all tunes" it does show up.  But, the recording at the top of the page is not UP but AUGUSTINE and this doesn't occur in the pie either. The Tune page for AUGUSTINE is correct in matching the recording with the tune, as is the page for UNIVERSAL PAGE. On the AUGUSTINE page there is no biographical information on Routley, which is odd as there is some info on the Routley page, though it comes no where close to telling his impact on hymnody, though, thankfully, the article edited by Sam Young is listed and it is more comprehensive, but a user unfamiliar with him might miss it.

On the text pages media at the top of a page are automatically selected from the available resources connected to the text. In this case, the PDF is UNIVERSAL PRAISE because it is the only PDF we have associated with this text. It is the tune that Cyber Hymnal paired with this text. The recording (MP3) was supplied by the United Methodist Publishing House for the hymnal app that we developed for them.  The only MP3's we have associated with this text are of the tune AUGUSTINE. In general, Hymnary staff do not make the PDF's or MP3's. We also rely on volunteers to write the bios. They take quite a bit of time to write. We want them to be original, not copy and pasted from copyrighted material, and preferably have citations.
