This
tune
was
once
in
the
Sacred
Harp
on
page
95,
but
was
taken
out
by
the
revisors.
See
remarks
about
T.
W.
Carter
in
other
pages
of
this
book.
The
words
were
taken
from
Methodist
Hymn
Book,
page
181
in
1844.
Ganges
and
Funeral
Hymn
were
inserted
in
place
of
this
song
when
it
was
removed.
The
title
to
the
hymn
was
"Jesus
Christ
the
Saviour
of
All
Men."
