Some people have suggested that the tune was modelled on Cliff Richard's 1950s song "Living Doll" - but despite this the hymn has crossed the boundary between contemporary (for its day) song and regular hymn.
The tune is named LIVING LORD, and has a 4/4 time signature. In the key of D, the first few notes are D DE D A AAG G. It is included in the most recent edition of various English hymn books, including Hymns Old and New, Catholic, 2009 and one of these is the best source of sheet music.
