It is indeed. Saturn? Jupiter? One of the gas giants!

Jupiter is my guess. Nobody gives Saturn a second thought.

I did wonder if this was too British a question but I figured hymns were pretty much global. Obviously not. But yes, you’re both right.

Wow. So do you think that’s normakl, then? Different countries have different words to the same tune? I must admit, not really knowing a thing about hymns, I’ve learned something here.

I just learned that the US hymn to this tune is called O God Betond All Praising. Make any difference?
