The
words
in
this
tune
have
been
fixed
1911
so
they
can
be
sung.
This
is
a
very
difficult
piece
of
music
to
render
in
all
its
parts.
Words
were
composed
by
Watts.
It
was
re-arranged
by
Major
White,
1869,
and
put
in
place
of
the
tune,
"All
Saints
New."
The
original
hymn
has
four
verses.
This
is
an
important
hymn.
