Yes. But what about it? Why is this an encyclopedia entry? Shall we reprint each of Shakespeare's sonnets? They're good poetry. Maybe even a little better. User:Wetman
Good format change, Mattcrypto. Why didn't I think of that? Quill 01:00, 18 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Good to see the article with the important link to Charles Wesley. I think Isaac Watts said he would give all of his verses to have written Wesley's 'Come, O Thou traveller unknown'. I am not aware of a comment from Charles Wesley about this fine hymn of Watts.

I'm glad to hear that the use of the hymn by the BBC (Radio 4) to introduce its 7am broadcast on Good Friday morning, is still continuing. (Do many other major broadcasters use it similarly?) Though the way it is introduced ('and now for a verse of a traditional Easter hymn') is a bit lacking! Linuxlad 09:30, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
I question whether "Easter songs" is an appropriate category for this hymn. The lyrics are all about the Passion, not at all the Resurrection, and in my breviary it is used for Evening Prayer throughout Lent and during Holy Week. I'll remove it from the Easter cat, absent objection. Carl.bunderson ( talk) 06:16, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
This may not be the right place to discuss this, but I ended up reading the article because I was utterly flabbergasted as to how the second stanze is supposed to rhyme. How is one to pronounce either "God" or "blood" for this to make any sense. I trust it may be some historical or regional pronunciation of either, but I would very much appreciate it if someone could point out the solution to this obviously bewildering bit. And if I am not entirely off track here, perhaps this should be addressed in the article itself as well. Avichai~dewiki ( talk) 23:07, 3 July 2018 (UTC)
