A hymn tune, commonly attributed to Bortniansky, but not clearly identified as part of Bortniansky's published works. It is best known from John Stevenson's work A Selection of Popular National Airs (1818).
According to hymnary.org, "no tune resembling this one has been found in that Russian composer's published works. Stevenson is generally recognized as being the arranger if not also the composer".
Grove Music does not list this hymn in Bortniansky's work list.
Since the first known version of this work is Stevenson's, and that work was in English, it has been tagged for English.
