The text authority at https://hymnary.org/text/silent_night_peaceful_night_all_things_s makes no sense. Three different English renderings of "Stille Nacht" list it as their text authority (one instance of each), and none of the three has the "all things s" that the URL proclaims. It isn't clear to me whether some or all of the three should be moved to the main "Silent night" authority, or whether some or all of them should have their own authority/ies.


Comments

Yes, there were some instances located under this authority that did not have the second line "All things sleep, shepherds keep."  I have moved them to where they should go. They were different translations of Joseph Mohr's text. Each translation should have a separate authority based on the first verse of the hymn in the instance.
