The "O Christmas Tree" tune is not the original tune for the Maryland
state song. For a short time they had the same words, but a different
tune. Sorry, I don't remember the tune. But a couple of years ago we
went to a concert by the Gay Men's Chorus of Maryland, and they sang the
state song to the original tune. It was odd to hear the familiar words
to a different tune!
I can think of a couple of Christmas carols that set the same text to more than one tune, the most famous being "Away in a Manger". The old Confederate anthem ("God Save the South") had at least two different tunes.
I can also think of a several poems that have been set as art songs more than once
