Thread Name: Victorian hymn revisited
Subject: RE: Victorian hymn revisited
Another example in Bunessan (the carol, Child in the Manger). Ironically the later Morning Has Broken has found its way into just as many hymn books as the carol, which was translated from the Gaelic. There are posts on here from Neil MacCormick, discussing the possibility that this tune was written by his ancestor of the same name. But it was definitely originally a hymn.
