I'm compiling hymn and folk song scores for next year, and there is a discrepancy between the text and recordings on August 2026: "Awake, My Soul and With the Sun."
While it makes sense that the whole hymn might have originally been sung to the Old Hundredth tune, given the Doxology component, both of the videos linked use Francois Barthelemon's "Morning Hymn" tune.
I scrolled through every scanned hymnal page posted on Hymnary and did not see a single one that uses Old Hundredth; Morning Hymn is the overwhelming majority and Tallis' Canon seems to be the only easily available alternate.
I propose that the entry be altered to acknowledge/recommend "Morning Hymn" as the setting of choice.
