Background and Context of the Hymnal
The revised Trinity Hymnal included a unique hymn that was the last one to be added. The hymn was originally intended for the JNR hymnal, a hymnal planned to be created through the merging of the OPC and the PCA. While the merger did not happen, the OPC insisted on including Majon's favored hymn in the revised hymnal as it held significant importance to Majon and was used during the Presbyterian conflict.
