Love this song. Love its backstory. Have heard many beautiful renditions. However, my favorite is the most creative I ever heard. It was performed by a contestant on The Voice, Sarah Grace, sung to the tune of The House of the Rising Sun. Given that the original borrowed its music from many hymns until it became attached to a song, New Britain, that people of the time recognized and could easily sing. So, adapting this hymn to different music is perfectly acceptable. Indeed, this version seems to fit the solemnity of the words better than any other tune I've heard

Wasn’t sure about this when I saw the description CPT Jack Durish; however, it was beautiful and gave this song an ever more poignant meaning. Great share Sir!
