Description: This is apparently the first arrangement of this tune, based on a camp meeting folk hymn from the last eighteenth or early nineteenth century. Other arrangements from the same source are by John G. McCurry (Burges, from The Social Harp, 1855) and Henry S. Reese (Sweet Morning, from The Sacred Harp, p. 421, 1860 to the present). Sweet Morning in The Sacred Harp is based on an English folk tune (Jackson 1953, No. 168); Burges in The Social Harp is said to be based on an African-American spiritual (Jackson 1933, pp. 259-260). The words by one or more anonymous authors; verses first appear in 1790. There are twelve stanzas in the Southern and Western Pocket Harmonist.
