Hillsong's version is inspired by and based off of the original, but they added lyrics and words to it, making it a different song entirely. You should read WP guidance on the subject, which reads, "Songs with notable cover versions are normally covered in one common article about the song and the cover versions." I would have thought the difference between the two versions was the important part, not that they are covered in two articles.I don't agree - the Hillsong version has diffenrent genre and feel to the original classic version as penned by Spafford.Support Walter Görlitz ( talk) 22:02, 27 March 2017 (UTC).Same song Richhoncho ( talk) 09:57, 27 March 2017 (UTC) The practice of merging different versions of articles is common on Wikipedia, even when the style is radically different. The text copied from that article makes it clear that a new bridge was added. Despite claims that the two songs were different, the Hillsong article clearly stated that it was a "special version of the traditional hymn" with a link back here. The result of this discussion was to merge content from It Is Well With My Soul (Hillsong song). A summary of the conclusions reached follows. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. contribs) 23:05, 1 October 2013 (UTC) Proposed merge with It Is Well With My Soul (Hillsong song).I hope this helps to clarify the amendment to the article.Īlistair - Preceding unsigned comment added by Commune31 ( talk You will find a family tree that features the documents I located here: You would actually need to be a member of the site to access it though.Ī summary of the family with birth and death dates is here: The truth is perhaps even sadder and is as I explained in the amended article. I was surprised to find that the truth was not exactly as stated in the original article. The reason I changed the article is that I decided to look up the original records of the Spafford family on the Ancestry website (I was doing a talk which drew on the Spafford's tragic tale and Mr Spafford's great hymn). Then, in October 2012 comes along and removes it with no explanation, ĭoes anyone have any information on this son and his death? There is mention of another son who died much later - is there any confusion between the two and if so, is the editor who removed the information correct? Frank Rabinovitch ( talk) 15:34, 24 February 2017 (UTC) Content removed Īs far back as February 2008, this article starts off citing the death of the son, I just added a link to the LOC images in higher resolution, including the verses on the back.

Independent of the above discussion, but still on the subject of lyrics, I would propose that someone add Spafford's two stanzas on the back of the original manuscript to the article. DL77 ( talk) 01:24, 10 March 2013 (UTC) Does it matter that the listed lyrics do not match the songwriter's original work but are attributed to the songwriter? - Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.50.114.125 ( talk) 05:41, 14 March 2013 (UTC) But the first and third lines were never meant to rhyme, as indicated by the following stanzas. Why must this correction be made over and over? Please help keep the integrity of the article and respect the hymn and it's author by not posting the wrong lyrics.Ģ4.23.82.3 ( talk) 05:52, 25 June 2011 (UTC) Obviously "know" was changed to "say" to rhyme with "way" at the end of the first line.

The original manuscript is referenced and available online. I continually correct the last word of the third line of the lyrics.
