Half listening to Sunday Worship I heard a Salvation Army band play this tune. What's the hymn called?

I don't think that ^^ worked - but it's Glorious Things of Thee are Spoken.

>>>If somebody would write a hymn to the tune, Tannenbaum, there could be church services with a political subtext
"Oh Tannenbaum" is sung in many churches anyway. The words aren't exactly a hymn but they're particularly appropriate if a church has a Christmas Tree Festival (as many here in East Anglia do):
"O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
Your branches green delight us!
They are green when summer days are bright,
They are green when winter snow is white.
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
Your branches green delight us!
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
You give us so much pleasure!
How oft at Christmas tide the sight,
O green fir tree, gives us delight!
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
You give us so much pleasure!
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree
Forever true your colour.
Your boughs so green in summertime
Stay bravely green in wintertime.
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree
Forever true your colour.
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree
You fill my heart with music.
Reminding me on Christmas Day
To think of you and then be gay.
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree
You fill my heart with music."

There are already two hymns which use this tune Sandy - Immanuel, Immanuel and Now Unto Us A Child Is Born.

If I remember rightly 'Oh Tannenbaum' is the tune of the Socialist International which goes something like this :
The Peoples flag is deepest red.
It's shrouded o'er our martyed dead
W'll raise the scarlet banner high
Beneath its shade w'll live and die
Though cowards shrink and traitors sneer
W'll keep the red flag flying near
It was sung every year at the Labour Party and the TUC conferences.
If you didn't know the words you were likely to be sent to Siberia.
I remember a Minister for Wales was filmed trying to mime the words., not so long ago. He hasn't been seen since . I don't know which Gulag he's in.
The hymn Glorious Things of Thee are Spoken is
Deutschland über Alles ,The German Nat Anthem
