"Probably derived from a folk hymn, first published by Samuel Wakefield in 1825. The harmonization by James P. Carrell for three voices in 1831 was reprinted by William Walker in 1835. Walker added an Alto part in 1867; that four-part version has been repeated in recent versions of ''The Christian Harmony''. A version of this tune for was published in the fourth edition of ''The Sacred Harp'' in 1869, arranged by Absalom Ogletree; this three-part version has appeared in ''The Sacred Harp'' on page 108 to the present. Messiah (1825), Bozrah (1825-1835), and The Traveler (1869 to the present) appear in four-shape notation. Bozrah (1867 and later editions of ''The Christian Harmony'') appears in six-shape notation – at first, Walker's 1869 six shapes, later Jesse Aikin's 1847 six shapes. So far, no nineteenth-century version is known except in shape notes. Words to Messiah and Bozrah by Charles Wesley, 1745, ''Hymns for the Lord's Supper'', Hymn 17, with four stanzas. Carrell (1831) and Walker (1835) combined Wesley's first two 77.77. stanzas to form one 77.77.D. stanza. Instead of Wesley's second stanza, Walker (1867) inserts the first two stanzas of Harriet Auber's paraphrase of Psalm 24, "Wide ye heavenly gates unfold". Words to The Traveler by William B. Collyer, in Rippon's ''Selection'', Edition 29, 1829, altered to "Traveler haste, the night comes on"."
