England's Lane (hymn tune)

England’s Lane is a hymn tune by Geoffrey Turton Shaw (1879–1943).[1] It is sometimes used as an alternative tune for For the beauty of the earth,[2] or for Jane Eliza Leeson's paraphrase of Victimae paschali laudes (Christ the Lord is risen today, not to be confused with the Charles Wesley text with the same first line).[3]
