William
Bobo,
the
author
of
the
above
tune,
resided
at
Union,
S.
C.,
and
was
living
there
prior
to
1866.
Since
that
time,
we
have
been
unable
to
get
any
in-
formation
about
him.
He
composed
several
tunes
in
William
Walker's
song
Book,
"Christian
Harmony,"
"Fruits
and
Flowers."
The
chorus
in
this
tune
wass
oom-
posed
by
William
Walker.
He
published
the
"Southern
Harmony,"
"Fruits
and
Flowers"
and
other
music
books.
Tne
tune
as
here
appears
has
been
revised
into
four
shape
notes
by
S.
M.
Denson,
1911.
The
hymn
was
composed
by
Francis
Baker
Priest,
and
first
published
in
the
publication
of
James
Boden,
1801.
