"Words by Isaac Watts, 1709, Hymn 10 of Book 2, with six stanzas. Johnson used two stanzas of Watts' hymn for each stanza of his composition. A folk hymn, derived from one or more folk tunes (Jackson 1953b, no. 107). This song occurs on page 71 of ''The Sacred Harp'', 1844 to the present; in the 1911 James Edition of ''The Sacred Harp'', it appears with an alto part, but the composer of that part is not stated."
