Elvet Banks is a modern hymn tune, in the somewhat unusual meter of 87.87.87.87.7, set in the Lutheran Service Book of 2006 for the hymns:

  • To Jordan came the Christ, our Lord, recommended for use in Epiphany[1] and set as an alternative to the sixteenth century chorale tune Christ unser Herr
  • May God bestow on us His grace, recommended for use in Lent[2] and set as an alternative Es Wolle Gott uns gnärdig sein.

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.
