The composer for ABBY (Allen) is listed as “S. Allen”.  One source here, however, shows the composer as “A. Allen”.  The Psalter with Music (United Presbyterian Board of Publishing, 1900), available at the Internet Archive, also lists the composer as “A. Allen".  Should the person page have a note to indicate the discrepancy?

We do not have any information about either S. Allen or A. Allen, but the consensus seems to be the tune is by “A. Allen” so I have changed it.
