#683: The Numberless Gifts of God's Mercies
Is the composer famous for other things?
Famous would be a stretch, but she's contributed several other Swedish hymns, such as Thy Holy Wings ("cutesy-twee" and also the great flood).
Is this one as cutesy?
No. It's also not as popular, though, so make of that what you will.
How's the Shannon density?
Somewhat low--every verse is A-B-A (repeating text).
