FactoidSamuel Francis Smith set his words to this much older tune in 1831 - possibly by John Bull (1619). The tune is also used for the national anthems of British Crown Dependencies - New Zealand, the UK, Australia, Canada, Barbados and Tuvalu as well as (oddly) Liechtenstein where it is 'Oben am jungen Rhein'.
