Not sure, but I think that whoever writes the song takes out the copyright. Since THE CHURCH didn’t write the song, or buy the rights to it, then they don’t hold the copyright.

- Kolob, what a nice planet. Just a place for LDS god to have sex and make spirit babies!

- It was printed by the Oxford university press
- SH! Sing it in secret so no one knows we have it!
- The melody belongs to the oxford university press. The text does not.

Kind of ironic, considering most politicians don’t exactly follow the teachings of the bible, especially during campaigns! - Is It Just In The South Or Do Candidates In Other Regions Use Church Hymns In Their Ads?
Interesting, I am guessing religion sells there.
In my area the only background tunes I hear piped through are sea chanteys and whaling ballads, It’s quite common here, has anyone else notice that in their area?

I have a suspicion that it was written during the early England missionary efforts and thus originally printed in England.
The information below explains it.
This is an old hymn by WW Phelps from the early 1800s using an English melody that was already under Oxford copyright.
That is why.
Text: William W. Phelps, 1792–1872
Music: English melody, arr. Ralph Vaughan Williams, 1872–1958, from the English Hymnal. Used by permission of Oxford University Press. Making copies without written permission of the copyright owner is prohibited

The words/lyrics are Mormon, but the music/tune is copy written by Oxford Press. It was a common tune of the day.
I too love that hymn. The lyrics are awesome.
Mormons are famous for taking beautiful Christian hymn’s melodies and putting twisted lyrics to them. They don’t come up with original melodies.
The melody belongs to the oxford university press. The text does not.
