That's why English psalm & hymn singing traditionally named tunes independently of the words just because this interchanging of words and tunes was expected until relatively recently. In that earlier post I mentioned different 19th century version with different tune names.

One of those is Solon. You can find it at the Harmonia Sacra site. It's in an Adobe file on the bottom of p. 109. Here's the link direct to the Adobe file of p.101-100 Melody is in the tenor line.

I probably shouldn't include it in this message, but Hernando's Hideaway works as well.
