Yesterday in our harmony lesson with Victoria we analyzed the hymn setting Wondrous Love. It doesn't have any accidentals next to the clef and ends on the D minor chord. That's why it's not a D minor key but Dorian mode with raised 6th scale degree. It turns out that Dorian mode was still common in Bach's time. You might remember his Dorian Toccata: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRY7zrMGCi8 By the way, here's Vidas' video about the ancient modes I thought you'll enjoy watching: Demonstration of the Diatonic Modes (Vidas Pinkevicius) Let me know if this helps.
