Can someone please supply the title or tune designation for the processional hymn here.

I've heard it before, and I like it very much as a tune. I have no idea as to the words.

I'm also wondering why I haven't heard it more often in my long history of Episcopal/Anglican worship.

The tune is St Petersburg (88.88.88), attributed to Dimitri S. Bortnianski, 1825. In The Hymnal 1982 it is used once, for "Before thy throne, O God" (#574).

It is also used for Charles Wesley's "Thou Hidden Source of Calm Repose."

If the question is answered, I guess we are done here!
