Prof.
J.
P.
Reese
was
born
in
Jasper
County,
Ga.,
in
1828,
died
in
Coweta
County,
in
1900,
and
was
buried
in
Oak
Hill
Cemetery,
Newnan,
Ga.
He
composed
many
tunes
and
hymns,
which
are
published
in
different
song
books.
He
helped
revise
"
Sacred
Harp
"
in
1869.
There
are
27
different
tunes
in
"
Sacred
Harp
"
composed
by
him.
He
taught
music
in
many
different
counties
in
Georgia
and
Alabama,
and
was
engaged
in
its
composition
for
over
20
years.
He
belonged
to
the
Southern
Musical
Convention
from
1845
up
to
the
time
of
his
death,
and
was
a
strict
member
of
the
Baptist
church.
If
Prof.
H.
Wood
did
not
compose
the
words
to
the
above
hymn
he
so
changed
it
that
there
can
be
no
trace
of
it
found
in
the
hymn
books.
We
have
been
unable
to
get
any
data
about
Mr.
Wood,
who
is
credited
with
being
the
author
of
the
words
in
this
tune.
