Subject: RE: HYMNS and Folk Tunes?
My gospel quartet sings He Looked Beyond My Faults and Saw My Needs, which is sung to the tune of Danny Boy which, according to my hymnal was adapted from Londonderry Aire:

"Amazing grace shall always be my song of praise
For it was grace that bought my liberty
I do not know just why He came to love me so
He looked beyond my faults and saw my needs

I shall forever lift mine eyes to Calvary
To view the cross where Jesus died for me
How marvelous is the grace that caught my falling soul
He looked beyond my faults and saw my needs

The song has been recorded by the Five Blind Boys, among many other groups.
