Subject: RE: Origins: Only Remembered
Can anyone tell me when the war reference "will the line hold, will it scatter and run" came into the song. It is not in Bonar's original hymn. Was it there before Tams' version. I don't recall it being in Lisa Null's version in the '70s, nor in any online hymnal versions that I have been able to find so far.

Also when did "Ever remembered" drop entirely out of the text?
