THE HYMN TUNE, ST. DENIO, IS A TRADITIONAL WELSH FOLK TUNE.  IT MAY HAVE COME FROM A FOLK TUNE ENTITLED "A HUNDRED YEARS FROM NOW" WHICH WAS POPULAR IN THE EARLY NINETEENTH CENTURY. THERE ARE SOURCES WHO ADVOCATE IT CAME FROM A BALLAD ABOUT A CUCKOO. 

IT FIRST APPEARED AS A HYMN TUNE IN 1839, BUT BECAME PART OF MODERN HYMNODY WHEN GUSTAV HOLST PUBLISHED IT IN THE ENGLISH HYMNAL IN 1906. THE NAME REFERS TO ST. DENIS, THE PATRON SAINT OF FRANCE.
