Other resources
These are nice online resources with lots of information, but not indexed by hymn meter.

* Hymnary.org (you can enter a meter in their search tool, or you can find a tune or text with the meter you want and click the linked meter from the tune or text's page)
* Oremus Hymnal (you have to look at each individual song to find the meter)
* Psalters (8 different Psalters, but you have to look through the Psalms for the right meter.)
* The Psalms of David in Metre (though these Psalms are in meter, the meter is not listed; they appear to be all, or mostly, in common meter)
