I am an ELCA Lutheran from South Carolina. I play the piano and organ. This past Sunday (June 7), we sang When Long before Time as the Hymn of the Day. It was written and composed to the tune THE SINGER AND THE SONG, by Peter W.A. Davison. The tune was arranged by George Black. It is #861 in Evangelical Lutheran Worship. Just thought I'd share.
