The
above
tune
as
it
here
appears
was
re-arranged
by
Geo.
B.
Daniel,
1911.
It
was
originally
published
in
the
Sacred
Harp,
but
was
re-
moved
by
the
revisors
and
the
tune
"Timmons"
put
in
its
place.
It
is
claimed
by
many
singers
that
"Jordan's
Shore"
is
better
tune
than
"Timmmons,"
especially
since
it
has
been
corrected
by
Mr.
Daniel.
(See
history
of
Samuel
Stennett,
author
of
the
words
under
tune
"Promised
Land,"
page
128;
of
Geo.
B.
Daniel
on
page
534.)
"Jordan's
Shore"
is
an
old
melody
remodeled
by
J.
T.
Whtte
in
1844,
with
a
few
notes
changed
in
it.
It
appears
in
the
song
books
of
the
early
part
of
the
Nineteenth
Century,
but
none
of
these
early
books
give
the
author
of
the
music.
