Thanks for that list; I'm familiar with "Disciple", and have it in my 3-ring binder of "Gospel and Sacred" music. That's a catchy little tune that moves right along, too.

I seem to recall seeing on one of the sites (SH perhaps?) where the "A" part is essentially 8s and 7s, but the "B" part is somewhat irregular.

I'll have to look up some of those other metrical matches and see how they fit. Probably have at least a few of them in my collection.
When I peruse those old books, I frequently find alternative lyrics by Issac WATTS, BEECHER, and others that just blow me away; there is some beautiful Gospel poetry hidden in those obscure old volumes, to be sure!
