"The hymn by Crossman first set to music by Jacob French in 1793, with slightly amended first stanza and a coda by an unknown author (perhaps French). French expanded the coda in 1802. In 1805, Jeremiah Ingalls reduced French's 1793 version to three parts, and added an additional stanza before French's first stanza. John Wyeth reduced French's 1802 version to three parts. Joseph Funk reprinted Ingalls' three-part version in 1832, which was also reprinted by William Walker in ''Southern Harmony'' in 1835, and the same in ''The Sacred Harp'' in 1844. William Hauser reprinted French's 1802 version in ''The Hesperian Harp'' in 1848. It has been re-arranged and reprinted many times since then.<br> Words by Samuel Crossman, 1664, revised by Samson Occom, 1774, Jacob French, 1793-1802, and Beecher 1855."
