Stephen Foster’s ‘Farewell My Lily Dear’ and ‘The Soldier’s Home’ show relationship to the tune. (See my article in The Musical Quarterly, vol. xxii., No. 2.) For the English source of this dialogue type of song, see the note under ‘[Warrenton]’ in this collection.

[HEAVENLY UNION] or EXPERIENCE, REV 42
Heptatonic aeolian, mode 1 A + b (I II 3 IV V 6 7)

The wonders of Immanuel
Who saved me from a burning hell,
And brought my soul with him to dwell,
And gave me heav’nly union.
Union, union,
