Some
musicians
claim
that
P. Sherman
is
the
author
of
the
above
tune.
We
are
inclined
to
believe
that
this
is
a
mistake;
we
think
that
the
tune
was
composed
by
Roland
Sherman,
who
died
in
Vermont
several
years
ago.
He
was
a
teacher
of
music
of
much
reputation.
He
published
several
works
on
the
subject
of
music,
and
was
a
very
fine
performer
on
instruments
of
various
kinds,
and
composed
a
great
deal
of
sacred
music,
however,
there
are
some
mistakes
in
the
history
about
the
birth-
day
of
Mr.
Sherman,
his
birth
was
of
much
earlier
date
than
given
in
some
of
the
histories.
This
tune
also
appears
in
the
Southern
Harmony
by
William
Walker,
1835,
page
159.
We
have
been
unable
with
the
books
before
us
to
find
the
author
of
the
words
in
any
hymn
book.
