Hark!

Sweetly
invites

From
caves
of
darkness
and
of
doubt,
He
gently
speaks
and
calls
us
out.

This
tune
is
taken
from
the
"New
Harp
of
Columbia,"
by
M.
L.
Swan,
page
178.
Mr.
Swan
signs
the
preface
of
his
book
at
Bellefrute,
Ala.,
1867.
The
tune
is
credited
in
his
book
to
Kimboll,
and
is
an
old
melody
printed
in
his
Jacob
Kimboll
book,
the
"Royal
Harmony,"
1793,
mostly
original
music
by
himself.
He
was
a
teacher
of
music
of
Massachusetts,
New
Hampshire,
and
Maine.
He
was
a
strong
musician,
fine
composer
and
director.
He
wrote
some
of
the
psalms
in
"Bel-
knap's
Collections."
He
died
at
Tapsfeud,
Mass.,
in
1826.
Many
of
his
tunes
have
been
published
since
that
time
on
up
to
the
present.
This
tune
has
been
re-
arranged
by
S.
M.
Denson
and
J.
S.
James
and
a
new
alto
added
1911.
It
is
believed
that
the
tune
as
presented
here
will,
with
its
new
arrangement,
prove
to
be
a
favorite
among
the
music
people.
