I was in the shower this morning when this hymn came to me. It's in C because I am no musician and that's what I can do most easily - don't knock it: Irving Berlin could only do C and had a piano with a gear shift for other keys (not that I'm comparing myself with the great Irving Berlin). The alignment of notes with their words was fine when I did it in MS Word, but went dodgy when blogged and I can't edit properly in the new editor.
