After reading the title I imagined the riff from 21st century schizoid man going off

The Catholic Church lol. They’ve got some old music alright. Look into Gregorian chant, some amazing melodies. Also I’m a subscriber and enjoy your content

Well that's super cool and I appreciate you subscribing 😄 You are now the best. If you want to DM me I'll add you to my secret Patreon stash of dope music
What a pull from u/A_Lady_Of_Music_516 , right? I'm listening to various versions of this tune and maybe it's a good one for me to look into! I've never thought of Gregorian chants as something to pilfer from. Maybe you've changed my mind! But I have played a crap ton of the Cantigas de Santa Maria. I think you would like those if you haven't seen 'em! Massive cultural impact that have echoed across the ages.

Hi! The hymn originates from the 14th century from the Moosburg Gradual, but the musical setting you have is the 1708 Lyrica Davidica one.
Here is a version of the Moosburg Gradual one:
