"Tune apparently first appearing in ''A Compilation of Genuine Church Music'', Second Edition, 1832; not attributed (but very few songs in that book are), credited to Joseph Funk; reprinted in many editions of Funk's ''Harmonia Sacra'' down to the present day; an Alto part was added in the 1869 edition. More recently, appears in ''Shenandoah Harmony'', 2013, p. 116, with a different Alto part. Text first published in ''The Christian Lyre (Joshua Leavitt)'' in 1831, titled "The Eden of Love" with three stanzas, attributed to "E. C. Tillou", to a different tune (in D major). "E. C. Tillou" is otherwise unknown."

1. How sweet to reflect on these joys that await me, In yon blissful region, the haven of rest, Where glorified spirits with welcome shall greet me, And lead me to mansions prepared for the blest; Encircled in light, and with glory enshrouded, My happiness perfect, my mind's sky unclouded, I’ll bathe in the ocean of pleasure unbounded, And range with delight through the Eden of Love.
