Both Alleluia sing to jesus and Love Divine have the same tune. This always confused me so I looked it up:) It's called Hyfrydol.
Hyfrydol has been used as a setting for William Chatterton Dix's hymn Alleluia! Sing to Jesus!, Charles Wesley's Love Divine, All Loves Excelling, I Will Sing the Wondrous Story, and Come Thou Long-Expected Jesus, as well as many other hymns from a variety of faith traditions.
I am an ELCA Lutheran from South Carolina. I play the piano and organ. Today (October 23), I played this as the Opening Hymn. It is #631 in Evangelical Lutheran Worship. And to all denominations: If Song of Solomon 4:8-5:1 is your Scripture of the Day, this is a good hymn to compliment it.
"Catholic Church hymn"? It was written by a Protestant! Though I must say, I admire the ecumenism of that concept, if it's really sung in the RCC too. Separated brethren today, who knows what tomorrow?
This is as Protestant as it gets, but I'm glad Catholics are now including it with their mass. Maybe they could trade the Pope in for a few more Anglican/Methodist/Presbyterian hymns!! lol. Yes, I'm a recovering Catholic, before you bite my head off.
The tune name is Hyfrydol, but "Love divine, all loves excelling" was written by Charles Wesley. The Catholic Church may sing it, but it is Methodist in origin.
fascinating, yet the correct name for the tune is "hyfrydol", and it's welsh. the song "love divine, all loves excelling" is one of the songs that often is sung to that tune. i often use the tune for "come thou long expected jesus" and "allelujah, sing to jesus".
I basically learned it by ear. I have sheet music for it but it is in the Key of F which does not sound good on that particular dulcimer and it was melody only. All the Embellishments I do in this version are all stuff I experimented with and this is what came out. Its amazing what you can do with a Hammered Dulcimer
No this is my old songbird 17/16/8. My new dulcimer is not finished yet and I really wanted to post a video of this song. I will post a new version of this song once my new dulcimer is completed. Thanks for the compliment!
Excellent Job!

Beautiful playing! Who made this dulcimer? It has a very warm mellow sound. I am thinking of buying one. Which one do you recommend?

Yes, as an Anglican who plays regularly I can say from experience that not all RC churches have given in fully to the Vatican II Hippy music.
Love this hymn, very well done!
