QPQ: Done.
Overall: OK as-is but I suggest ". . . that "Thy Strong Word did Cleave the Darkness" substituted its theme of "light from above" for the anti-war protest of the earlier hymn it replaced" (or similar with the short title as you have it). Also, the New York Times article is the most independent source, and has more information about the circumstances of the hymn's addition to the hymnal that would benefit the article--I added a bit, but I think it would be good to clarify a bit more, for example that the 1982 hymnal did not, as one might guess, come out in 1982. blameless 04:31, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
