The Navy Hymn (Eternal Father) and Once to Every Man and Nation.

There is a bit of history to Once to Every Man and Nation. In the early eighties, the Episcopal Church in America was trying to modernize the liturgical service. They removed the hymn from newer hymnal because it "Implied that God only gave man one chance to do something right, and did not mention eternal forgiveness". George Will (who I believe is Roman Catholic) wrote a stinging editorial, and partly because of this issue, the more conservative portion of the Episcopal Church broke away and became known as Anglo-Catholics. While I am not a devote anything, I do evoke in my will that I be buried "under the 28BCP" (Book Of Common Prayer) and the 1940 Hymnal.
