d92 Remember Thy Creator Now In these thy youthful days

You are here

I'm new to hymnary.org. I think the hymn, d92, says it has no melody to go with it. #183 of the hymnal, "Hymnal of the Church of God", pub 1953 by Warner Press Inc, has a melody written by Lola M Thompson. And it says that the author of the words is "unknown". But here you have an author for the words of d92 (John Burton 1894), but no melody. They should get together. Is there a place for me to correct that, to enter the score, or to paste a jpg photo of the hymn? The reason that I'm interested in it is that Lola Thompson (1915-1962) is/was my mother-in-law.

Yes, we welcome volunteers who want to complete an entire hymnal. "Hymnal of the Church of God" 1953, was added when the Dictionary of North American Hymnology (DNAH) database (produced by the Hymn Society in the United States and Canada) was merged with the Hymnary database. These hymnals came to us with only first line and author information which was standardized across the hymnals. The Hymnary folk are interested in customizing the information to the specific hymnal instances. If you own this hymnal and are willing, we would love to have you complete it.

There is some training involved - reading through the Wiki, taking a quiz, reading through the tutorial about connecting authorities, and completing a training hymnal.
