The
above
tune
was
composed
by
Thomas
Waller.
He
lived
in
Upson
county,
Ga.
He
taught
singing
school
in
that
county
with
Prof.
H.
S.
Rees.
He
died
in
the
late
Civil
War.
He
was
a
fine
teacher,
leader
and
singer.
He
belonged
to
the
Southern
Musical
Convention
from
1850
up
to
the
time
he
died
in
the
war.
He
was
something
over
thirty
years
old
at
the
time
of
his
death.
The
words
to
this
tune
were
re-arranged
by
Mr.
Waller,
and
chorus
added
at
the
same
time
he
composed
the
tune.

This
tune
was
composed
by
R.
F.
M.
Mann
in
1853.
I
think,
however,
there
must
be
some
mistake
about
this
date.
It
must
have
been
1850.
It
was
in
the
first
appendix
of
the
Sacred
Harp
in
1850,
so
it
could
not
have
been
dated
1853,
although
that
date
is
mentioned
in
connection
with
the
tune
in
the
Sacred
Harp.
The
Words
of
this
tune
are
found
in
"Mercer's
Cluster,"
by
Jesse
Mercer,
in
1823.
