I have a version of "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" that is in 9/8. I've read that people find the 3/4 time signature version more common.

This depends on what the time signature is. The time signature is the fraction looking numbers at the beginning of the piece. The top number represents how many beats there are in a measure. The bottom number tells you what kind of note gets one beat. The time signature 4/4 would be interpreted like this. The top 4 suggests there are 4 beats in every measure. The bottom 4 stands for a quarter note that gets one beat. If the time signature is 4/4, a half rest would get 2 beats, just like the half note. However, if the time signature is 2/2, then a half rest would get one beat as there are only two beats per measure and the bottom 2 represents a half note getting one beat. If the time signature were 6/8, where there are 6 beats in every measure, and the eighth note gets one beat, a half note would get 4 beats as there are 2 eighth notes in a quarter, and two quarter notes in a half note. 4 eighth notes in a half note.

What are the Values of the notes?
It depends on what time signature you're in, and therefore which note gets the beat. The most common time signature is 4/4 in which the quarter note gets the beat and there are four beats per measure. In that time signature the breakdown would be: Whole Note/Whole Rest = 4 beats (a full measure) Half Note/Half Rest = 2 beats (half a measure) Quarter Note/Quarter Rest = 1 beat ( 1/4 of a measure) Eighth Note/Eighth Rest = 1/2 a beat ( 1/8 of a measure) Sixteenth Note/Sixteenth Rest = 1/4 a beat ( 1/16 of a measure) And you can continue on subdividing the beat into smaller values. Then there are dotted notes/rests, which look exactly as the sound: one of the above notes/rests with a dot next to it. This dot indicates that you add half of the note's value to it. So a dotted quarter note would be 1 beat + 1/2 a beat (an eighth note) in 4/4.
