The
above
tune
is
credited
to
S.
Chandler
in Presbyterian
Psalmist,

a
book
published
some
time
in
the
early
part
of
the
19th
Century;
the
date
of
the
copyright
and
all
other

gone.

It
has
leather
back,
but
it
is
badly
worn.
It
was
also
printed
in
the
Missouri
Harmony
Supplement,
1827
and
1837,
by
Carden,
and
no
doubt
in
earlier
prints
of
last
named
books.

Sacred
Harp,

No
trace
of
the
hymn
can
be
found
further
back
than
the
date
of
the
tune.
We
cannot
find
out
anything
about
Mr.
Chandler,
the
author
of
the
music.
