Replacement for over-used tunes?

    I deliberately made the title more generic, as there are several hymn tunes Im looking to replace.

    But to start - the only 76.76 D tunes that I end up using are ELLACOMBE (aka The Day of Resurrection) and ST. THEODULPH (aka All glory, laud and honour). I'd like to find some easy but similarly festive replacements. I tried KING'S LYNN, but that did not work too well for the congregation, despite near continuous programming (and some people complained it sounded like a country fair). AURELIA is a little sober and staid......

    I love AURELIA though. Our people seem to like it too.

    Aurelia is great when done at proper tempo.

    I never thought St.Theodulph was over-used. It’s only used once a year here for Palm Sunday.

    MUNICH is a solid 76.76.D tune.

    LLANGLOFFAN, in G minor (or F minor). In many hymnals.
    The major key variant of it: Llanfyllin (Hymnal 1940, No. 570) https://hymnary.org/hymn/HPEC1940/page/652
