"A folk hymn (Lowens 1964, Music 2005). First published in ''Wyeth's Repository, Part Second'', 1813, for three voices: Treble-Tenor-Bass. David Music (2005) says ''Davis'' and ''New Salem'' are two different tunes deriving from the same (probably oral source), and this idea is confirmed by a similarity test (above). In addition to Wyeth, the ''Davis'' variation appears in: *''Missouri Harmony'' (1820) *''Gratitude'' in Davisson's ''Supplement to the Kentucky Harmony'' (1820) *Moore's ''Columbian Harmony'' (1825) *''Southern Harmony'' (1835) *''The Hesperian Harp'' (1848) The ''New Salem'' variation appears first in Metcalf's ''Kentucky Harmonist'', 1818. After that, ''New Salem'' also in: *''Missouri Harmony'' (1820) *Moore's ''Columbian Harmony'' (1825). *''Supplement to the Kentucky Harmony'' (1826) *''A Compilation of Genuine Church Music'' (1835). Words by Joseph Swain, 1791, with six stanzas of meter {{CiteCat|11 8. 11 8. D"
