Description: First published in Amos Pilsbury's The United States Sacred Harmony, 1799, p. 30. Words by Charles Wesley, 1759, Funeral Hymns No. 3, with nine stanzas.

This tune was considerably revised by James P. Carrell in 1821,who retitled it Pilgrim, moved it to A minor, and added new words, Charles Wesley's How happy every child of grace (1759). It appears as Child of Grace on p. 77 in The Sacred Harp from 1844 to the present, as a three-part reduction in 1844; a new Alto part was added in 1911. A description of the history of this tune is given in David Music (1995).
