Just having an argument with a Spanish speaker about the hymn Eternal
Father strong to save.
Is it only a well known ditty in certain countries?
I had the impression even heathens sang it when the weather got rough.

heathen too. The first two verses were OK but he should have quit
while he was ahead.

I (a Latin!) strongly disagree.

The original 1860 Anglican version is definitively Christian, not WASP,
and aconfessional (save perhaps for the few Nestorians...) and the
"triservice" 1940 version has nothing whose refer to specific countries,
and also I point to a fine detail of the US Naval general variant:
"And all who for their country stand"
whose is encompassing friends and foes...
I start to suspect that WL's interlocutor is a bit bigot, or with a
spray of "Latin salt", has issues with R. Yehoshua's witticism about
eyes, motes and beams ;)
Best regards from Italy,
dott. Piergiorgio.

You can disagree all you like, dottore, but Anglicanism is, in essence,
Anglo-Saxon, Protestant and predominantly white, and the origin of the
hymn is in that culture.

The only good Anglican is a bad Anglican
"We be not worthy so much as to gather up the crumbs from under thy
Table."

That's quite plausible.
