masato sakurai	Lyr Req: Sullivan's NOEL hymn tune (6)	RE: Lyr Req: Sullivan's NOEL hymn tune	10 Dec 08
From The New Oxford Book of Carols (1992, p. 375): The one sung in Britain (II) is an adaptation by Sullivan of an eight-bar melody (bars 1-8) that was sent to him by a friend, which he slightly revised, completed, and harmonized. It was first published in Church Hymns with Tunes (1874) with the attribution 'Traditional Air rearranged'. There is, indeed, a strong resemblance to 'The Sussex Mummers' Carol' (see The Oxford Book of Carols, 1928, no. 45; also Journal of the Folk-Song Society, vol. 2, p. 130, and vol. 3, pp. 261-3). See The Sussex Mummers Carol at The Hymns and Carls of Christmas site.
