Description: First published in Music in Miniature, 1779, without words. Considerably revised in 1787 in a eight-page separate, bound with copies of The Suffolk Harmony. The portion before the fugue was reprinted in 1806, transposed up a half step (to F#m), no accidental in m. 8 Tenor, and altered words; it is uncertain whether this revision is by Billings. Words by an unknown author (see Stratford (Daniel Read)).

(1787)
Mourn, mourn, ye saints,
As if you see,
Your Savior dear nailed to the tree.
A bitter death He did endure,
To save the souls of men secure.

 

(1806)
Mourn, mourn, ye saints,
Where-e'er you see,
Your Savior dear nailed to the tree.
A cruel death He did endure,
To save the souls of men secure.
