John Ingalls realized "Jehovah" was a mistaken designation of God's name, so it was changed

John Ingalls' post Recovery hymnal
Christ in Song restores the name "Jehovah" to that song. I don't think he was making a statement about the accuracy of "Jehovah" but just restoring the song to its original form. The original song (with "Jehovah") was greatly used by the Lord in the Welsh revival. "Soon all Wales was singing their way to the coal mines and soccer matches. And their favorite hymn was this marching song by one of their own." (
Great Songs of Faith by Brown & Norton). Other hymnal editors have felt the same way as WL and changed "Jehovah" to "Redeemer" to be more New Testament.
