A hymn tune, instead of a song itself, but it is such a joyful tune that I cannot help be happy; thus, for me at least, its German name Lasst uns erfreuen [translated, I believe, as "Let us rejoice"], is rather apt. This tune comes from Cologne, Germany, in 1623 out of the Ausserlesene Catholische Geistliche Kirchengesäng.
I have joyfully sung [as in joyfully loudly, not joyfully in-tune :)] this joyful tune in the hymns All Creatures of our God and King and Ye Watchers and Ye Holy Ones.
