HYMNAL Note for Hymn 246 (O Thou who spreadest the heaven like a tent) has an
interesting
historical touch: The liberation of The Netherlands from Spanish rule, and the fact
that the state of New York was under Dutch control for 50 years (1614-1664).

Ed. It's interesting that, "the first fifty years of the
colony (1614-1664) were under Dutch control" This tune is a "traditional folk song" of the Netherlands. I love this one.
