The UMC hymnal from 1960s paired"Jesus Christ is risen today" with the traditional Lyrica Davidica and as an alternative with tune for "Hark! The herald angels sing." That did not go over very well.
That technically could work with the tune See, the Conqu'ring hero comes, despite the other obvious problem that this causes on Easter. Saint Patrick’s in Dublin makes it work for Hark the Herald at Lessons and Carols.
