I believe the song is an English translation of "Es waren Hirten zu
Bethlehem" by Christian Palmer.  The hymnal I have doesn't credit any
composers and I can't find a complete score online.

I have found some other examples.

The following are even more interesting because they do not fit what I
was calling logical above based on the plain durations of the notes
because of a switch from simple to compound meter.

http://www.hymnary.org/tune/let_us_crown_him_mcgranahan (4/2 to 12/4)
http://www.hymnary.org/tune/behold_what_love_what_bound_mcgranahan (4/4 to 12/8)

As these three are all written by the same man, I suspect there are
more to be found.
