I can read your notation system just fine. It's clearly in 3/4, starts out with a 1 1/2 beat pick-up to the first measure (+ 3 + [1+2 + 3 +] 1+2... and so forth. However, I'm away from an instrument or a hymnal either one, so I'm not much help.
By the way, to paraphrase Col. Jock Sinclair, "Jesus Christ the Apple Tree" is a cheesy tune (and text).
