King's Lynn (for which this tune is named), known until 1537 as<br> Bishop's Lynn. It is a seaport and market town in Norfolk, England.<br> "King's Lynne" is an English folk tune which was adapted by Vaughan<br> Williams as a hymn tune. It was used in the Lutheran Book of Worship<br> (#177-178) as a setting for the lyric "By all your saints in warfare".<br> It is similar to Pilgrim which appears in both The Sacred Harp and<br> The Southern Harmony.<br> The banjo arrangement uses G modal tuning which is completely<br> unrelated to the vocal setting.<br>
