"Lord, When You Came as Welcome Guest"

Near the beginning of the year, I noticed a few small features in the hymn "Lord, When You Came as Welcome Guest," sung to the tune "Land of Rest."  Here's the first phrase:

In the fourth verse, the text here is "Your daily mercies let them share."  "Share" is sung with a melisma (D C), and this gives a sense of its meaning since the word is "share[d]" between the two notes.

Here's the third musical phrase:

In the third verse, the text here is "This golden ring that none may break."  Here, "break" is sung with a melisma (D C), giving a sense of its meaning.

In the fourth verse, the text is "By this their vow divide their care."  "Care" is sung with the same melisma, and this gives a sense of its being "divide[d]."

"Jerusalem, My Happy Home"

When I transcribed the text for "Jerusalem, My Happy Home" a couple years ago, I noticed a handful of significant melismas.  The hymn is sung to the tune "Land of Rest."  Here's the third musical phrase:

In the third verse, the text here is "There grow such sweet and pleasant flow'rs."  "Sweet" is sung with a melisma (A Bb), giving a sense of degree (for the modifying "such").  In the fourth verse, the text here is "There evermore the angels dwell."  Both "evermore" (D C A Bb) and "dwell" (D C) are sung with melismas, giving a sense of duration.

In fact, every "(for)evermore" in the fourth verse (one in each line) has this feature.  I won't include notation for all of them, though.
