hymn search 'brought us riches manifold'

From: sed

Searching for a hymn, the remembered lyrics of which are something like:
    Now sing we of the saints of old
    who would not trade their hearts for gold
    but brought/gave us riches manifold: Hallelujah!

Is there someway I can post a midi or a pdf of the melody I remember?

Hi, sed -
I can't find the hymn you're looking for. You can send a MIDI or PDF to me for posting.
