Dipping into the slightly more obscure, the old EUB Hymnal contains a song called "My Heart Looks In Faith" the tune for which is listed as a Chinese chantey "Song of the Yangtze Boatman". The Methodist Hymnal includes folk tune listings in its index of composers, authors and sources. The great methodist hymnwriter Charles Wesley was a wordsmith and not a tunesmith. Thus many of his hymns are put to tunes by others, some of which are folk tunes. Here are a couple from the 1964 edition."Come, Let Us, Who in Chirst Believe" tune Campmeeting (early American)
"How Happy Every Child of Grace" tune Cleansing Fountain (American usually associated with "There Is a Fountain Filled With Blood")
The traditional English tune "Forest Green" is listed for 5 hymns:
All Beautiful the March of Days (Frances Wile)
I Sing the Almight Power of God (Isaac Watts)
O Little Town of Bethlehem (Phillips Brooks)
And Have the Bright Immensities (H C Robbins)
