Original
title
to
this
hymn
was
"The
Year
of
Jubilee."
Published
in
the
Author's
Hymn
Book
for
the
year
1750.
Some
authorities
have
credited
this
hymn
to
Toplady.
This
is
incorrect
for
the
reason
that
Toplady
was
not
born
until
1840,
and
could
have
been
only
10
years
old
at
that
time.
See
other
sketches
of
Chas.
Wesley
in
this
vol.
This
tune
is
credited
to
J.
L.
Pickran
in
the
revised
Edition
of
the
Sacred
Harp
of
1859.
Diligent
inquiry
fails
to
discover
anything
of
him.
Tune
revised
by
Denson
and
James,
and
alto
added
by
S.
M.
Denson,
1911.
It
was
originally
on
page
379,
but
was
removed
in
1869
and
"Span
of
Life"
inserted
in
its
place.
