Tennessee Ernie Ford (13 February 1919 – 17 October 1991) was an American singer and television host who enjoyed success in country and western, pop, and gospel.
Hymntime
Ford insisted on ending with a hymn on his own show despite objections from network officials and the ad agency representing Ford, who feared it might provoke controversy. — Wikipedia

Insisted on hymns for his Lord,
The sponsors were fearful
Of receiving an earful
When taking religion on board.
