Level: 3
Tuning: Dropped D

This tune was written by English hymnist William Henry Monk in the 19th century, though the words (by Henry Francis Lyte) have been set to other tunes, as well. It has been enormously popular ever since it first appeared, and it has been favored by guitarists, especially in recent years. This arrangement should not present major difficulties for intermediate players, though the right hand picking may take some getting used to.
