I am reading off and on in a book called "Through Western Eyes" by Robert Letham. (A book on Eastern Orthodoxy)
At one point while talking about the Trinity he makes these statements regarding hymnology and the Trinity (page 223):
Since we sing this song (There is a Redeemer) during our worship services his statement interests me. Aside from EP issues, would you agree that Letham is right?
Another statement I found interesting
Regarding the Eastern Church:

The hymnology of the Western Church is sadly lacking in clearly trinitarian compositions. Even some of the best known hymns are defective in this way: 'My God, how wonderful thou art,' 'Great is thy faithfulness' (at best binitarian), 'Praise my soul, the King if heaven,' and so on. A recent chorus, trying hard to be trinitarian, falls into heresy in the attempt, with a refrain which runs 'Thank you, O our Father, for giving us your Son, and leaving your Spirit till the work on earth is done [my italics].'

Regarding the Eastern Church:
The Trinity is more central to the life and worship of the church than in the West, as Orthodox service books make transparently clear
