Oy, time to look up Yigdal, learned as a Presbyterian hymn, "The God of Abraham Praise". In high school a favorite, besides Parry's "Jerusalem", was the "Northfield Benediction", a setting of the Priestly Benediction. I'd attach the music if I could... it's very nice.
Yes. It was originally Leoni's Yigdal and Thomas Olivers visited the synagogue and did the reverse of the contrafact. I still sing that regularly in synagogue! Parry is classic, Northfield I don't know!
I went to Northfield Mount Hermon for high school, and "Jerusalem" is sung at every assembly and became our alma mater when the schools merged in 1972. Northfield Benediction.pdf

Fascinating to me with a tutored education in music and a religious education branched into Judaism by seduction of the mind, and heart.
