So, it is useless because it doesn't stack with a spell you do not get until 13th level, and then only once per day. It is useless because that spell makes a +1 weapon +5 holy, when the paladin may instead need Axiomatic to beat DR, or Brilliant Energy to power attack someone with super high AC, or he may already have a +2 Holy Sword, and want to give it an extra attack with "speed", and make it auto-confirm crits with Bless Weapon. Or maybe you think you might need a Restoration or a Break Enchantment instead of Holy Sword that day.

Sorry. I don't buy it.

And WBL is one of the most powerful things in the game. Any effect that lets you save on one item and spend money on other stuff instead is probably strong.
