That Beautiful Old Hymn "There's Cr p On The Door"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNNoJOCSJoI
"""Ring the bells softly, there’s c r a p on the door; One now is sleeping whose sorrows are o’er; White folded hands and calm, silent breast, Peacefully, lovingly, now take their rest. Waiting the judgment day, passing before; Ring the bells softly, there’s c r a p on the door.""" |

This 1896 text comes from an old Presbyterian collection; it was wisely omitted in later publications. The correct word should be “crepe,” coming from a time where black crepe was placed on the front door of the home of a deceased person during the period of bereavement. Somehow, through a printer’s error or someone’s misprint, or perhaps an evil spirit, crepe became c r a p.

If Seth Eades had home church I am thinking this would be a hymn there!
