Eliza Carthy and Norma Waterson (with Lal Waterson and Maria Gilhooley) do a stonking (bloody fantastic and very loud) version of this on their recording 'Common Tongue' pub by Topic Records TSCD488. They list it as 'number 787 in the Baptist Sankey hymnal' and it featured in Dennis Potters' last play, 'Cold Lazarus'. (See Eliza - some of us DO read the sleeve notes!)

I've often thought of stealing it but could never do it credit.
