lutheranhymnsAre the composers famous for other things?
Yeah. Johann Michael Haydn is the younger brother of Franz (who showed up earlier in this section) and apparently went by his middle name. Charles Wesley is...well, I guess this is the thing he's famous for, composing a lot of hymns. His brother John was the main founder of Methodism but Charles is often credited as a co-founder, at least I think he got billing in my AP Euro textbook and that's obviously a reliable and memorable source...
What about the rhyme scheme?
save/have is an eye-catching eye rhyme. As is throne/Son, although I kind of think that the fact they don't look that similar makes it less jarring, almost? Both pairs of lines are masculine rhymes, although the second pair is longer than the first syllable-count wise. As I just mentioned I feel like it's more common for longer lines to come before shorter ones. But whatever, variety is important too.
