Star of the County Down?

The air to the traditional Ulster song "Star of the County Down" is better known in other places as a hymn tune.  Here's a clip from the BBC's Songs of Praise where it's put to the words of "I heard the voice of Jesus say".

There are a number of other hymns which can be sung to this tune including the Advent piece "Blest be the Lord of Israel".
