Thread Name: HYMNS and Folk Tunes?
Subject: RE: HYMNS and Folk Tunes?
A few more here, "What Wondrous Love is This" gets its tune from "My Name is Captain Kidd and I Sailed" Several hymns have been set to "The Ashgrove" - The one I (almost) remember without a hymnal in front of me is called "The Master Has Come." Another hymn that we sang a lot in the country churches I grew up in is "The Lily of the Valley" which uses the versatile tune to such standards as "Little Old Log Cabin In the Lane" "Little Old Sod Shanty on My Claim" and "Little Joe the Wrangler"
