[It is suggested that this version be used either by the Choir alone, or with the people singing the melody, to verses 2, 3, and 4. The tenor part which has the melody should be made prominent.]

Note.—It is impossible to print all the tunes which are traditionally sung to this hymn. The tune often used in Cornwall is printed in the Appendix.

University (No. 93) and Crowle (No. 463) are sometimes sung to this hymn.
