I have a sinking feeling that the 15 instances of What a wonderful Savior is Jesus may represent as many as four or five different songs. I just added this one, which is to the tune better known (to me at any rate) as "Give me oil in my lamp" aka "Sing hosanna"; it says "Music: Arr. The Csehys". My guess is that the texts ascribed to Hoffman, Chirpe, Doran and Peterson are all distinct and separate hymns (or songs) having only their first line in common. If LJPMaadi #69 is not one of these four, then that's five. I don't have the books it will take to resolve this.
