 In some modern Anglican hymn books, it is replaced with "Onward, Christian Pilgrims" set to the same tune.Largely because of its association with missionaries of various types, the song is sung in a number of movies and television programmes.The 1939 film, "Stanley and Livingstone", depicts Dr. David Livingstone (played by Sir Cedric Hardwicke) spiritedly leading a choir of African people in this anthem.
