I copied out the list of the “top 250” hymn texts and removed the initial-letter headings, and put the result in a spreadsheet, and there were only 248 items. Not a huge thing, but just the sort of thing that I like to waste time worrying about.

Comments
On further inspection
I think the entry that says “Alleluia, Alleluia, Give Thanks” and links to “Jesus is Lord of all the earth” is an error, and should probably read “Alleluia! Alleluia! Hearts” and link to “Alleluia! alleluia! Hearts and voices heavenward raise”.
