Deutschlandlied was written by Joseph Haydn in 1797 for the poem Gott erhalte Franz den Kaiser, and was later used for the German National Anthem. The tune is also used for the hymn Glorious Things of Thee are Spoken. 

Thaxted was written by English composer Gusav Holst, and was adapted from the theme from Jupiter from Holst's Planets Suite. The tune is used for many hymns, most famously O God Beyond All Praising, and was included in Vaughan Williams's 1926 book Songs of Praise. The tune is perhaps most famously known as the melody for the patriotic song I Vow to Thee, My Country. 

I play both tunes because I think they are wonderful melodies, not because I believe in either God, nor nationalism.
