I have come across three different tune authorities that seem to be for the same tune. The tune is "Annie Laurie", a scottish tune by Alicia Scott (née Alicia Ann Spottiswoode). I noticed also that the Cyberhymnal has three different names for it.

Could somebody else check them before mergining them, in case I made a mistake?
The tunes are:

Annie Laurie
McPhail
[There is constant joy abiding]

Thanks

Yes, these all look like the same tune. I have merged them together. Most of the hymnals the tune appears in do not have a tune name and the most used text that goes with the tune is "I am on a shining pathway." So I have used the tune "[I am on a shining pathway]." Alicia Ann Spottiswoode used the name "Lady John Scott."

Wasn't she the author and/or composer of the song ("Annie Laurie"), whether only lyrics, only tune, or both I don't recall? Looked it up; tune only. The traditional (secular) text is by William Douglas.
