"Narrow
Space"
was
composed
by
S.
R.
Penick
in
1850
for
the
first
appendix
to
the
Sacred
Harp.
We
refer
to
several
different
sketches
elsewhere
in
this
vol-
ume
about
Mr.
Penick.
He
was
a
fine
singer,
leader
and
composer.
He
was
a
member
of
the
Southern
Musical
Convention
for
a
long
ttme.
The
hymn
is
found
in
"Baptist
Hymnal,"
page
226
and
in
the
hymns
of
Chas.
Wesley,
published
1749.
Wesley
is
the
author
of
the
hymn.
It
is
in
many
of
the
hymn
books
since
it
was
first
published.
