http://www.cyberhymnal.org/ is a comprehensive and well indexed site.
One of my personal favourites is Whittier's "Dear Lord and Father of Mankind":
http://www.cyberhymnal.org/htm/d/e/dearlord.htm
to Parry's tune "Repton" — http://www.cyberhymnal.org/nwc/r/e/Repton.nwc .
Users of Micro$loth™ operating systems can download a free player/score-animator for .nwc files from http://www.noteworthysoftware.com/player/ . There's also a midi file for Mac and Linux users — http://www.cyberhymnal.org/mid/r/repton.mid .
"O Sabbath rest by Galilee,
O calm of hills above,
Where Jesus knelt to share with Thee
The silence of eternity,
Interpreted by love;
Interpreted by love!"
Who said the Devil has all the best tunes, or lyrics?
The composer, Parry, is perhaps better known for his setting of William Blake's "Jerusalem" — http://www.cyberhymnal.org/htm/a/n/anddidtf.htm .
