It is set to ABBOT’S LEIGH, which I have blogged here.
It is also available at OCP.
A choral arrangement is for sale at Hope Publishing.

My original home parish uses this hymn but naturally changes the tune to Hyfrydol. So much Hyfrydol there! At the school where I teach, we use this hymn set to Hymn to Joy as printed in GIA’s Singing Our Faith children’s hymnal.
This is my favorite version of this hymn, it broke my heart that they deleted if from YouTube.
