Some musings
Don't "AGF" on WP:DOYCITE ; this might be caused by confusion between similarly named persons... Iam-bic pen-ta-me-ter is actually, well, in trochaic meter...

Hymnology

Thinking on starting a possible Wikiproject/taskforce on this. In any case, for the time being; a list of relevant high quality sources with commentary:

John Julian, ed. (1907). A Dictionary of Hymnology.

An important publication, and unprecedented nor surpassed in scope since then. Most of the information within is quite accurate despite the age of the publication. Statements about "common use" must be taken with a grain of salt as they're, well, a century old...

J.R. Watson and Emma Hornby, eds. Canterbury Dictionary of Hymnology, The Canterbury Dictionary of Hymnology. Canterbury Press.

The modern successor to the above, includes of course updates from the last century of research on the matter. The catch? It's not exactly freely available so unless you are lucky you will only have limited access to the article about your desired search subject...

Chris Fenner, ed. Hymnology Archive

Modern scholarship, on a variety of hymns, on both the text and the tunes. Freely available, too.

The Hymn, [New York] : Hymn Society of America, 1949-present

A journal focusing primarily on hymns. Freely available (save for the few latest volumes).

Hymnary.org

Primarily a database, includes commentary from some hymnbook companions (including John Julian above). Occasionally blurbs from the editors there about the hymns. A great help in looking up textual variants and usually also has statistics about the pairings of text and tune (most, but not all, major hymnals are included).

Various books/sources

Benson, Louis F. (Louis FitzGerald) (1915). The English hymn : its development and use in worship. Philadelphia : The Presbyterian Board of Publication. (a different copy is available here)
Bauer, James L. (2016). "Luther's Hymn Melodies" (PDF). Concordia Seminary Press. {{cite journal}}: Cite journal requires |journal= (help)
