Talk:Thine Be the Glory

English Translation
The translation provided - presumably by Google Translate - is terrible. No one who comes to this page knowing this song would recognise it. In which jurisdictions are the English lyrics still under copyright, and does that affect Wikipedia? Chris Martin (talk) 16:21, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
 * The translation would presumably be under copyright until 2019 - 80 years after the writer's death being the applicable period over most of the world. What would be of greater interest perhaps is: who holds the copyright at present and are they not willing to grant the necessary rights to Wikipedia? DDewson (talk) 11:38, 26 May 2013 (UTC)
 * An outfit named "ClassicHymns" has taken down any and all instances of Thine Be the Glory on YouTube, claiming copyright violation when sung by a little Christian church in India. Hard to believe! Santamoly (talk) 05:21, 31 October 2015 (UTC)
 * India it's 60 years, EU it's 70 years which was 2009. According to List of countries' copyright lengths only Colombia, Cote d'Ivoire, Guatemala, Jamaica, Mexico and St Vincent and the Grenadines exceed that.  I think it's useful to have a literal translation just to show how much the English is different. AndyB (talk) 13:43, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

St Patrick's Dublin
The article on 'Hark the herald ...' states that the Christmas Eve service at St Patrick's ends with 'Hark the herald' sung to the Handel tune normally used for 'Thine be the glory'. This seems much more likely than what is stated here. Mdrb55 (talk) 20:16, 19 December 2021 (UTC)
 * It had been added by anon-IP on 25 Dec 2016. It lacked edit summaries.  It lacks any form of citations.  Adopting WP:BRD, I've simply deleted it. (See also my own edit summary at the deletion.) Feline Hymnic (talk) 21:14, 22 December 2021 (UTC)
