NOT

COMPILED
BY
A
COMMITTEE
APPOINTED
BY
"THE

The
Committee
appointed
by
the
"Southern
Musical
Convention,"
at
its
last
session,
to
whom
was
referred
the
revision
and
enlargement
of
the
Sacred
Harp,
beg
leave
to
say
to
all
whom
it
may
concern,
that
we,
according
to
appointment,
have
taken
the
work
under
consideration
and
inspection.
and
have
corrected
the
rudimental
errors
in
said
work,
and
the
typographical
errors
in
the
music,
and
have
also
added
such
pieces
of
composition
as
we
think
are
calculated
to
enhance
the
value
of
the
work.
and
are
happily
adapted
to
the
use
of
the
public
generally,
as
an
Appendix

1. O tell
me,
young
friends
while
the
morning's
fair
and
cool,
O
where.
tell
me
where,
Shall
I
find
your
sing-ing
school?
}
You'll
find
it
in
a
large
church,
A-mid
the
sha-dy
grove,
You'll
find
half
a
hundred
All
singing
fa,
sol, fa.
2.
O
yes,
I've
found
them;
And
am
glad
indeed
to
see
Many
young
people
All
singing
with
so
much
glee.
}
And
while
they
sing
so
sweetly,
O
yes
I
think
I
see
Some
hearts
that
are
swelling,
O
Lord
with
praise
to
[thee.
3. May
these
young
people
All
meet
in
heaven
above,
To
join
these
an-gels,
And
a-dore
the
God
of
love.
}
O
God,
we
humbly
pray
thee,
We
all
may
faithful
prove,
And
all
meet
in
heaven
To
praise
thee,
[
God
of
love.
J.

the
above
tune,
was
a
native
Georgian,
lived
in
Hall
county;

singing
in

The
last
three
schools
he
taught
were
at
Boiling
Springs,
Bethany
and
Union,
in
the
counties

named.
He
was
a
splendid
teacher
and
director
of
music.
He
taught
but
little
after
he
moved
to
Sand
Mountain,
Ala.
He
went
there
just
before
or
about
the
beginning
of
the
War,
and
from
best
information
obtainable
he
died
in
1864
or
1865
He
was
a
good,
true
Christian
man.
We
are
indebted
to
Prof.
T.
B.
Newton
(who
received
his
early
musical
instruction
from
Prof.
Moss)
for
