Baring-Gould wrote lyrics to this hymn were written in 1865, and originally coupled with a portion of the music from Hadyn's Symphony in D, No. 15. In this configuration, the hymn was not popular. In 1871, Sullivan wrote a tune he called "St. Gertrude". When this tune was coupled with Baring-Goulding's lyrics, the hymn became a big success.
