The
hymn,
"
Voices
Crying
Out
in
the
Wilderness,"
is
traced
back
as
far
as
the
"
American
Vocalist."
Both
hymns
and
tunes
have
lost
the
authors'
names,
and,
like
many
others,
they
have
left
no
record
of
beginning
of
dates.
In
the
old
"
Sacred
Harp
"
this
tune
is
credited
to
Thos.
W.
Carter.
Perhaps
he
may
have
made
some
changes
in
the
tune,
so
as
to
credit
himself
with
the
changes,
but
the
melody
was
written
many
years
before
his
time,
and
was
among
the
old
tunes
that
have
stood
the
test
through
the
ages.
It
is
a
very
fine
piece
of
music
with
which
to
stir
the
emotions
of
the
people.
