"Words supplied with the music are by Nahum Tate and Nicholas Brady, 1698, ''New Version'' paraphrase of Psalm 149, which begins ''O praise ye the Lord, prepare your glad voice''. On the page preceding the music is presented an alternate set of words, "Hymn for Wallingsford," by Philip Doddridge, 1755, paraphrase of Psalm 149, as amended by William Enfield, 1772, with four stanzas, which begins ''O praise ye the Lord, prepare a new song''. This composition is named for the town of Wallingford, Connecticut, but it is spelled ''Wallingsford'' in three places in Benham's book."
