The
original
name
of
the
above
tune
was
"Where
Now
Are
the
Hebrew
Children."
Peter
Cartwright
was
a
minister
of
the
gospel,
and
used
this
tune
in
his
camp
meetings
long
before
it
was
ever
placed
in
notation.
It
is
one
of
the
old
melodies
of
America,
and
has
a
long
time
been
quite
a
favorite
of
many
of
the
older
people
in
their
younger
days
who
are
now
living.
Peter
Cartwright
was
born
in
Amherst
county,
Va.,
1785,
and
died
in
Sangamond
county,
Ill,.
1872.
It
was
first
published
in
the
Sacred
Harp
of
White
&
King,
1844,
afterwards
removed
in
later
revisions.
It
was
originally
on
page
78.
Many
of
the
older
people
remember
the
song
well.
Many
other
earlier
song
books
have
the
air
of
"Hebrew
Children.
It
is
one
of
the
old
historic
tunes
of
America.
It
has
all
along
been
presented
without
an
alto
The
present
arrangement
of
the
tune
has
been
made
by
S.
M.
Denson
and
J.
S.
James.
It
is
believed
it
is
now
in
better
form
than
it
ever
was
before.
