Oh,
when
will
the
pe-riod
ap-pear,
When
I
shall
u-nite
in
your
song?
I'm
wea-ry
of
lin-ger-ing
here,
And
I
to
your
Saviour
be-long.
I'm
fetter'd.

I'm

I'm
fetter'd and chain'd
up in
clay;
I
struggle
and
pant
to
be
free:
I
long
to
be
soaring
a-way,
my
God
and
my
Saviour
to
see

chain'd
up
in

The
above
tune
was
composed
by
S.
M.
Brown
in
1869
for
the
second
appendix
to
the
Sacred
Harp.
He
lived
at
the
time
in
Haralson
county,
Ga.,
where
he
resided
up
to
the
time
of
his
death,
about
twenty
years
or
more
ago.
See
other
sketches
of
him
connected
with
his
tunes
in
this
volume,
and
references
made
about
his
musical
genius
and
that
of
his
family.
He
composed
several
tunes
for
the
"Sacred
Harp."
We
have
been
unable
to
find
the
author
of
the
above
hymn.
It
is
probable
that
Prof.
Brown
altered
the
hymn
and
the
words
so
as
to
suit
the
tune
as
it
was
written.
