Elvet Banks is a modern hymn tune, in the somewhat unusual meter of 87.87.87.87.7, set in the Lutheran Service Book (LSB) of 2006 for the hymns:
The tune was selected for the LSB specifically to make some of these unsung hymns more accessible. [3]
The meter in this tune and its texts is also unusual in that most "8.7.8.7"-derived material (such as in Blaenwern and Hyfrydol) tends to have a strong, trochaic foot, whereas this has a gentler, iambic foot.
