REPORT OF SUB-COMMITTEE ON REVISION.

We, the undersigned sub-committee appointed by the general committee on revision of the Sacred Harp, respectfully submit the work performed
by us in this volume, to the general committee, and believe it will in its present form answer the great demand of the music people of this country.
We believe it contains more sacred songs and hymns than any other sacred tune and song book yet published, and will do its work in the religious
field of
music wherever rendered.

STATEMENT AND ENDORSEMENT BY THE COMMITTEE ON REVISION OP THE SACRED HARP, APPOINTED BY THE
UNITED SACRED HARP MUSICAL ASSOCIATION.
After much unnecessary delay and hindrance, we have succeeded in having under our supervision a final and complete revision of the Sacred Harp,
was appointed, anu hereby submit tne following pages embodied in this volume of rudi
ments and tunes, believing that the "Original Sacred Harp" now contains, as here presented, the best and most extended collection of valuable sacred
tunes and hymns ever published in this country. There is nothing like it on the market.
as provided in the resolutions under which this Committee
It is believed by the Committee it is what the singing public demands and the country for a long time has needed. No revision made by others
has been satisfactory to this Committee in such a way as we could give them our endorsements and keep within the bounds directed in the resolutions
above referred to. We have followed in this compilation, the letter, spirit and reason of the resolutions. We give the work herein contained, our
undivided commendation and endorsement, and believe it will be well pleasing to the music people, and the medium of spreading Christian tunes and
hymns so much needed in all the country, and will be the means of building up and reviving the spiritual condition of the churches. Most of the
work of compiling the book has been done by a sub-committee, appointed from the general committee, but under the supervision of the entire committee. For detailed statement of the work performed, we refer to the introduction of the book by J. S. James, our Chairman, and advise ever-* one
to read
it,
and see the value of the work done undej the supervision of
this committee.

INTRODUCTORY.
the Tniteil Sacred Harp Musical
On the 8th day of September,

Association, in Atlanta, Ga., passed resolutions, directing the appointlOOfi,
ment of a committee on the revision of the Sacred Harp. This committee was appointed and proceeded with the work specified in the
resolutions, but was hindered in one way and another from carrying
out the resolutions above mentioned. Several attempts have been made
within the last two or three years to revise the Sacred Harp by others,
but the work was done in such a way this committee could not endorse
and accept the same, although their names are attached to some of
these books as endorsing them. This, however, is without authority by
The endorsement could not be made
the members of the committee.
because the re\isors of these volumes did not comply with the resolutions under which the committee was appointed, and after all efforts to
get a book published as specified and required in the resolutions had
failed, and no prospect of getting a publication in accordance with
the resolutions, the committee proceeded last February to make and
compile what they have christened the "Original Sacred Harp."
brief statement of the work performed is in part as follows:

Notwithstanding this, alto has been composed and added
to number of tunes and composed in the same harmony as the other parts
in such a way as to greatly improve the melody of each and all the tunes.

On the right hand corner of the page, the name of the composer
of the music appears, where possible to find the name of the author of
the composition. Some of the tunes have been published for a century
or more, and no intimation appearing as to who is the author of the
words or music, or date of either; and after unlimited research to find
out the correct authors of words and music, we haven't been able to
determine in some cases who are the authors of the music and words.
Quite a number of persons are claiming the authorship of words and
music, especially the latter. "Where this occurs, we have tried, as best
we could, to secure the name of the original author, and give credit as
we believe it to be. In some of them there are only changes of a few
notes in the tunes, and on this, claim them as their own productions. In
such cases, we have credited the original author wherever found. In,
some of them, we may make mistakes; if so, an examination will show,
they are few in number.

when many of these tunes
have been published in t'-c early song books of this country, all of
which has caused tedious research and patience. The plan of writing
sketches of authors and tuucs has not been attempted heretofore by
authors of music in connection with the tune, except the writer of this
article.
(See Union Harp and History of Songs published by him in
1909.)
In that book there was a much smaller number of tunes. To
write the sketch of each tune and print it, in connection with the music,
is an expensive and arduous labor and undertaking that no author before
has been willing to attempt or expend. However, it will greatly add to
the interest of all tunes to know something of their composition and
the history of the composer of the words and music, and much benefit
gained in reading them by one knowing the source from whence they
came.

books it is called double-time or two-two time, accented on first part of the

7. How is the second mode known?
By four over four. Having the same measure note as the first mode,
performed in two and one-half seconds to the measure. When the four-note
method is used, and has four beats to the measure, when seven shape or round
notes are used. If two beats they will be down and up; if four beats, down,

In some books it is called quadruple or four-four time, accented on the first and third parts of the measure. (See example below.)
8. How do we know the third mode of common time?
By the figures Two over Four, sung in one and one-half seconds to the
measure, having two beats to the measure, down and up. It is called in some

If a sharp is placed in front of a note, what effect has it?

It is said to raise the pitch of it a half-step.
2. If a flat is placed in front of a note, will it lower the pitch of the note?
It will lower it a half-step.
3. What is a natural for?
It is to cancel the effect of the flat or sharp and restore the effected note
to its natural or original pitch.
4. Where do we find intermediate tones?
At the five places in the scale where whole steps occur.
5. What are the names of these intermediate tones?
They are named after the tone or note that lies nearest to them, thus:
If you are ascending the scale, they are named: Sharp one, sharp two, sharp
four, sharp five and sharp six.
If descending the scale they are named flat
seven, flat six, flat five, flat three and flat two.

William Cowper was born in 173 1 and died in 1800. He was a co-worker with John Newton. Both Newton and Cowper were left motherless at an early age,
Newton when he was seven, and Cowper when he was six. David R. Breed, D. D., in his work on the " History and Use of Hymns and Hymn Tunes," says
" Newton became a wild, disbelieving blasphemer; Cowper an irresolute, despairing, would-be suicide. One was driven to Christ by the violence of his sins, the
other by the violence of his sufferings.
Both, therefore, needed the grace of God, sought it, found it, and sang of it to the ages following." Cowper first became a
lawyer, but abandoned it after a brief practice.
He became one of the most distinguished poets in the English language in the latter half of the eighteenth century.
The original title of this hymn was " Walking With God." The above tune was first published in America by Andrew Law; in " Missouri Harmony," in 1837,
and in the earlier editions of Mason's "Sacred Harp," in 1840, and in many other tune books.

The author of the tune " Webster " is unknown, it having appeared in a large number of song books for the last sixty years without being credited to any one.
There are certain claims, however, that it may have been written by Corelli. We think this is a mistake. The tune may have been taken from a melody by
Handel, but there is no certainty about it

Rev. Beddome was born in Wishshire, 1717, and died 1795. He was a Baptist minister of great distinction. He composed a large number of hymns, among
them was the above. His hymns were mostly written for his own services, but many of them now appear in the hymn books of the various denominations.
" Weeping Saviour " is probably an English air. It is found in early American tune books.
Joseph Barnaby, author of the music. He wrote many tunes and hymns, which are referred to in many hymnals of this country.

The above hymn was composed about 1818. See remarks about Rev. Benjamin Beddome under tune " Weeping Saviour." The original title to this hymn was
" Invocation." In the early editions of the " Sacred Harp " this tune is credited to E. J. King, but the original tune appears in other books of much earlier date than
1844.
See works of Andrew Law, Oliver Holden, Lowell Mason, and others early in the nineteenth century. Prof. King changed some of the notes.

The original title of this hymn was "Hope of Heaven," or "Supported Under Trials on Earth." It is No. 60 of Dr. Watts' "Second Book of Hymns.
This was one of the leading hymns in the reform movement of Watts, Wesley and Whitfield, and is one of the standard hymns of England and America.
In all the books at our command the above tune is credited to Colton, and we have been unable to find anything definite about him.
The tune, "Ninety-fifth," is published in "Missouri Harmony," 1837, page 48, as well as previous publications of this book. "Southern Harmony," by Willilain
Walker, 1835, page 27, Lowell Mason, T. B. Masson, Law, Little and Smith, at much earlier periods than by the others above named. The words and tune

Timothy Swann was born 1758 in Worcester, Mass., died in Sheffield, Conn., 1842. He was self-taught in music, only having attended a course of studies
three weeks in a country singing school at Groton.
When he was sixteen years of age he moved to Northfield, Mass. He was a hatter by trade, and while
New
engaged in this business, studied music for over thirty years. He wrote and taught music in
England. Many of his tunes were published and had wide
circulation.
He was a genius in his way. His tunes were remarkable for their originality, and singularly unlike any other melodies.
China " is one of his
master-pieces, and illustrates his self-culture in the art of song.
It is printed in song books of Law, Mason, Billings, Swann, Holden.
In the "Missouri Harmony," 1837, "Southern Harmony," 1835, and all along from 1807 up to the present, and was also printed in the Sacred Harp," in 1844, by White and King.

Philip Doddridge, D. D-, the author of this hymn, was born in London in 1702, over two hundred years ago.
ordained to the Nonconformist ministry; was an English Congregationalist, and for many years was pastor of one of these churchesfrom 1829 to the time of his
_^_w
death, 1852.
He was a great pulpit orator and theologian. He composed many standard hymns and high-class sacred music.
This tune is credited to Bradshaw in the " Southern Harmony," page 40, and published in 1835, and refers to " Baptist Harmony," page 139. No doubt it was
composed at an earlier date than this. It was printed in the " Sacred Harp," by White and King, in 1844, and in each revision up to 1869.

This tune is on page 42 of the "Sacred Harp" as it was published in 1844. Like some other tunes, we have been unable to find any trace of its history
or the words in the tune.
It is a great favorite among the older people who sung it from thirty to fifty years ago.
It contains some very fine chords, and

Bishop Ken was born in Great Britain in 1637 and died in 1711. He was educated at New Oxford in 1762, and eighteen years later King Charles 11. appointed
him Chaplain to Princess Mary of Orange, and before his death made him Bishop of Bath and Wells. He was a great orator, minister, and poet. King James II.
imprisoned him for refusing to sign the Declaration of Independence. He ministered to Charles II. in his last moments. His " Manuel of Prayers," in which his
hymns were published, appeared in numerous editions up to the time of his death.
The music of " Old Hundred " is generally credited to Guil. Franc, of France, who is sometimes called William the Frenchman. He founded a school in
Geneva, in 1541, where he was Chapel Master for some time. He died in 1570. Some claim the music of " Old Hundred " to be one of Luther's melodies, while
others attribute it to Bourgeois.
It is generally conceded, however, to William the Frenchman.
It is one of the oldest tunes in the books, and has been used
throughout Christendom for over 300 years.

husband, who was drowned the day before the appointed wedding. See further statements in the " Story of Hymns and Tunes," by Brown and Butterworth.
No trace can be found of the author of the music. It was published on page 22 of " Southern Harmony," in 1S25, by Walker, and its orgin, no doubt, was

Stephen Jenks, New Canaan, Conn., published the " Delights of Harmony " in 1805. Twenty-six of the tunes in that book were composed by him, and it was
published on subscription.
He removed to Thompson, and died there in 1856. He was a ready composer.
" Charleston " is among the old tunes, and has been printed a great many years, early in the song books of the nineteenth century, and by Stephen Jenks about
1805.
He was a musician of some note. It was first published in the South by William Walker in the "Southern Harmony," page 23. Tne words of this hymn
are taken from " Mercer's Cluster," page 281, by Jesse Mercer, in 1823, 3d edition.
None of the books at our command give the name of the author of the words.

John Cennick was born in England in 1718. He joined the Methodist societies of
the Sinner's
the Wesley's when he was seventeen years old, and afterward became a preacher.
A dispute arose in the church, and he afterward founded an independent church
of his own, which was gathered into the Whitfield and Huntingdon connection.
Sometime after that he joined the Moravians, and spent the remainder of his life
with them.
He died in 1755. He was a man of sincere piety, was a polished poet and writer. His hymns were published in 1741. He was the author of two great
and well-known hymns,
Children of the Heavenly King," and the above-named hymn. The stanzas in both hymns are regarded of the highest standard of
hymnics. The last named has found its way into the hymn books of the American churches. Alto by S. M. Denson, 1911.
This tune is credited to William Walker (about 1832). See " Southern Harmony," by him, page 1 1, 1835 " Christian Harmony," by same author, page 207,
1866.
The tune in its present form was arranged by Mr. Walker, but the author is unknown.

This is an original song by Prof. Breedlove, composed especially for the " Sacred Harp," and if ever printed in any other book we have been unable to find it
supposed he is the author of the words as well as the music. In another part of this book other references will be found concerning Mr. Breedlove.
The two last verses are taken from Horatio Bonner's " Hymn of Faith," published in 1858. The title was " The Voice from Galilee."

The words in this song are taken from " Zion Songster/' page 268, published in 1832. The name of the author is not given. While the outline of the above
appears in some of the books of the early part of the nineteenth century, it was so remodeled as to make it practically a new tune, by Major White, about 1844. He
added the chorus. It originally had this chorus, " Farewell, brethren, farewell, sisters, till we all shall meet again."

Joseph Hart was born in 1712 and died in 1768. After being a backslider from his early religious training, he heard John Wesley preach in 1757. He became
and began at once to preach himself, and continued up to the time of his death. He composed a large number of valuable hymns, and published
works. This tune is one of the old melodies, but none of the books we have seen give the date or the name of the author of the music.

He
;ook a preaching tour from his home in Massachusetts to Washington with his Cheshire cheese, which made his name national on account of that trip.
wrote his own hymns. He composed the hymn, "The Day is Passed and Gone, the Evening Shades Appear." The farmers of Cheshire, for whom he was
Mr. Leland offered to go to Washington with an ox team with it
pastor, conceived the idea of sending the biggest cheese in America to President Jefferson.
and preach along the way, which he did. The cheese weighed 1,450 pounds. He died with great hope of restiin the glory world.
E. J. King made material changes in the tune, and re-arranged it about the year 1844- He prepared it for "Sacred Harp."

The words in the above piece of music are taken from Revelation 14 : 13. William Billings was born in Boston in 1746 and died there in 1800. He was buried in
the old Granary burying ground in the city of his birth.
He was self-taught in music. He was criticised by many musicians and music writers, and while he did
not believe so much in rules, he wrote some very fine music.
His first book was, " New England Psalm," the next was called " Billings' Best." He published
several other books and wrote and composed many national tunes that stirred the people of the United States.
Many of his tunes still remain in the note and
"
hymn books of the different churches.
Easter Anthems," "Heavenly Vision," ''Rose of Sharon," and many other anthems, known to many people of the

the first " Sacred Harp " that was published by B. F. White, in 1844, and has remained practically the same in various
revisions from 1844 to 1870.
It :s a sweet, old melody, and the words are cherished by many of the older people, as well as those
that like the old-time sacred
music.
Professor White either composed the words, as well as the chorus to this tune, or so changed them that no trace can be found of them
except in other
books that have been printed and published since the cnmoosinr o* .he tune by Mr. White.

Reese was born in Jasper County, Ga., in 1828, died in Coweta County, in 1900, and was buried in Oak Hill Cemetery, Newnan, Ga. He composed
many tunes and hymns, which are published in different song books. He helped revise " Sacred Harp " in 1869. There are 27 different tunes in " Sacred Harp"
composed by him. He taught music in many different counties in Georgia and Alabama, and was engaged in its composition for over 20 years. He belonged to the
Southern Musical Convention from 1845 up to the time of his death, and was a strict member of the Baptist church.
If Prof. H. Wood did not compose the words to the above hymn he so changed it that there can be no trace of it found in the hymn books.

Her maiden name was Selina Sherly. She was married in 1728 to The philus, Earl of Huntingdon, with
whom she lived happily until his death in 1746. She was one of the most pious, noble, and benevolent women whose name adorns the Christian Church. She
supported by her 'arge income the cause of the Methodists, which was so ably presented by John and Charles Wesley. George Whitfield was one of her many
chaplains, in connection with whom may be said to have founded the Calvamstic branch of Methodism.
She was an earnest Christian worker all her life. Sh
died in 1791. The above hymn portrays unaffected humanity of a Christian character. She was one of the great women having unbounded influenr- in her day.

Massachusetts in 1785. He was a farmer, and manufactured straw bonnets, kept a hotel, and taught singing schools. Music was only
an avocation, however, and he was an artist in his way.
He composed a number of tunes. From the best information we learn that he was almost self-taught in
music. Some of his tunes have come down through the different note books, among them " Morning Glory " " Restoration," " Hosanna," " Harmony," " Zion,"
" Devotion," and a number of others.
He has several songs in this book. It is thought that he added the chorus, as well
E. J. King was an associate of B. F. White in getting out " Sacred Harp."

No information can be obtained about the author of the words of the above tune. They were first published in the early part of nineteenth century.

second series of Charles Wesley's " Funeral Hymns." It originally had nine stanzas. Mr. Wesley was born in 1708
and died in 1788. He originally belonged to the Church of England, but with his brother John, in connection with others, established the English Methodist
Church. This is one of his standard hymns among thousands he composed. See full statement in reference to him in other parts of this book. Mr. Wesley
composed over 6,000 valuable hymns. He was one of the founders of Methodism, which has proven to be one of the greatest religious denominations.
" Animation " isa very old tune, printed early in the nineteenth century. See " Southern Harmony," by William Walker, 1835, page 85. It is printed there as
on this page, except the alto is added here.
No trace can be found of the author of the music.

original hymn was written by Rev. John Leland, who was born in 1754 and died in 1844.
He was a Baptist minister, and was a great friend of President
Jefferson.
He wrote his own hymns, and did not use those of other composers. He was popular among his people, but had many peculiarities. Further
him appears under the tune " Bound for Canaan."
But little is known of Prof. Thomas W. Carter outside of che music credited to him In "Sacred Harp." "Ecstasy" is supposed to have been composed
by him some time before the first revision of " Sacred Harp " in 1844 or 1845. He is credited in that book of composing '' Agusta," " Florence," " Exhilaration "
" Banquet of Mercy," " The Old Ship of Zion," " Little Children," and " Ecstasy." He was a member of both the Southern and Chattahoochee
Musical Conventions from the time f their organization until after the war.

This tune is supposed to have been composed about 1869. It is credited to R. H. Davis and J. S. Terry, but little is known of either of them. They were
prominent in the sacred musical conventions and societies from 1859 up to the early seventies. We have been unable to get any data about them since that time
The tune here presented is practically as it appears, changes are only made to carry out the seeming intention of the music.

an old melody much older than the "Sacred Harp" by White and King, in 1844; yet Mr. King made some valuable improvements
in it in 1844Hence we give him credit for the tune. However the air of the tune is believed to have been composed in the 18th century, and others claim a
much earlier date than this. The first verse of the hymn is found in "Mercer's Cluster," page 456, dated 1823 author of the hymn not given. The other two
verses have been added by compilers, ion, and alto by S. M. Denson at same time. See history of King, page 234; Denson, 529; Edward Harwood was an English musician, born near Blackburn, Lancaster co., 1707, died about 1787.

The above tune was composed by Elder E. Dumas in 1854. He was a Georgian Minister of the Primitive Baptist Church. He composed sixteen tunes in this book.
He was one of the revisers in 1869. He died and was buried at Forsyth, Georgia, in 1884. He was a member of both the Southern and Chattahoochee Musical
Conventions. See full sketch of him in "James' History of the Sacred Harp," page 107. It is supposed that he arranged the words at the same time that he composed the music. Alto added by S. M. Denson, 191 1.

This widely-popular hymn, on "Delights in Christ," was taken from "Olney Hymns," in 1779. John Newton was one of the best English hymn writers.
Born 1725 and died 1807 belonged to the Church of England.
Louis Edson was born 1748 and died 1820. He was an American, and wrote some very valuable music. If he had never written any other tune but "Greenfield,' it would stand as a monument to his name throughout' all ages.
Since writing the above sketch, it will be noticed that there is a mistake in the date of the tune Greenfield, while it is put down in a number of the song books
as being composed in 1840, as it is at the head of this page.
It could not possibly have been composed at that date, for its authoc died in 1820, and it appears in
several books before the close of the 18th century.
The earliest book that we have examined, except the published historys, is John Wyeth's repository of "Sacred
Snarrj" in 1810.
Certain it was before that date.

Samuel Stennett was one of the most influential and highly respected ministers of the Dissenting persuasion in England, and was a confidant of many of the
distinguished statesmen of his time.
Doctor of Divinity was bestowed upon him by the Aberdeen University. He composed and published thirty-eight hymns.
Beside this, he wrote and published theological works. He died in London in 1795.
This tune is credited to Miss M. Durham in the "Sacred Harp."

"Missouri Harmony," 1827 and 1837, page 54- All the books referred to have all the words, containing six verses, in the hymn, but none discloses the author of the

"Elysian" was published in the "Southern Harmony" by William Walker in 1835 and in 1849, page 100, and in earlier books in the 19th century. None of
song books give the author cf the music. See "Missouri Harmony," 1837, and earlier editions by Allen D. Carden, supplement 1827 and 1837. The hymn is
"Zion Songster," page 03, by Thomas Mason, 7th edition, 1832. This book has on the fly leaf a picture of a camp meeting, "View of Haverstraw
Camp Meeting, September I830. Engraved for Rev. T. Mason's zion Songster." The author of the hymn is not given in any of the hymn or song books we hav

This tune was composed by William Walker of Spartanburg, S. C, about 1835 for the "Southern Harmony," see page 18. It isalso published in the Christian
Harmony" by same author, page 236. No trace can be found in any of the recent hymn books of the words, nor of the older hymn books at our command. It may
be that Mr. Walker compiled the words himself.
He has composed several valuable hymns. See other sketch of Walker under other tunes. Alto added by S. M.

The title of the hymn is "God's Eternity and Man's Frailty." The words have been printed in the "Missouri Harmony" and the "Sacred Harp" as
being in common meter. This is an error, which we have corrected. It is set to long meter and cannot be sung to common meter, tune or verses. There are five
verses in the hymn, each of them is very fine. See page 565 of Psalmist, Hymn No. 1073.

The author of this hymn wrote two volumes of poetry in 1786, which were published about that time. Miss Williams was born in England in 1762. Her poems
were published when she was twenty-one years old. She visited Paris in 1788, at a period of great trouble, war being waged between England and France at that
time.
She was arrested on suspicion of being a foreigner, and an advocate of the Girondist cause, and imprisoned. She was not released until r704. from this
She composed this hymn while in prison.
time until her death she lived partly in England, but mostly in France, and died in Paris in r827.
Ignaz Joseph Pleyel, author of the foregoing music, was born in 1757 and died in 1851 in Paris. He was the twenty-fourth child of a village school-master. Me
commenced the study of music when very young. He studied under Haydn, who often spoke of him as his best and dearest pupil. He was reared in Austria, and
composed a great deal of music, and stood high as a musician.

This tune was published in the "Southern Harmony" by

Walker, 1835, page 04, and is an old tune. Alto has been added by S. M. Denson, 1911. The
tune appears in books before 1835, and a great many since then, but none of them give the author.
This hymn of Rev. Robert Robinson was for a long time used in
connection with the tune "Nettleton," composed by J. W. Wyatt in 1812.
It is also found in connection with a large number of tunes and melodies.
Mr. Robinson
was born in England in 1735. He was converted under the preaching of Whitfield, and was ordained a Methodist minister. He afterward became a Baptist and then
an Independent and finally a Socinian.
He died in 1707.

The above hymn was published in the second series of Charles Wesley's "Funeral Hymns." It originally had nine stanzas. Mr. Wesley was born in 1708 and
died in 1788.
He originally belonged to the Church of England, but with his brother John, in connection with others, established the English Methodist Church.
This is one of his standard hymns among thousands he composed. See full statement in reference to him in other parts of this book, Mr. Wesley composed over
6,000 valuable hymns.
He was one of the founders of Methodism, which has proven to be one of the great churches.
William Walker was born and died in South Carolina. He was a brother-in-law of Major White, who composed and compiled the "Sacred Harp," and revised
the same several times. It was written in 1844. A few years previous to this time about 1840 Mr. Walker and Mr. White composed the "Southern Harmony,"
although Major White's name does not appear as one of the authors of this book. The two men became estranged on account of this. Mr. White moved to Georgia
and composed the "Sacred Harp," and Mr. Walker continued to published the "Southern Harmony." He afterward compiled the Christian Harmony," which is
now considerably used in parts of Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina. He also published some other song and tune books. He was considered a fine
music writer, composer and was well up in the profession.

This tune is found in the "Southern Harmony," bv Walker, 1835, page 143 "Social Harp," by ArrcCurry, 1855. pape 216, ;<nd is also in the earlier song Dooks
and others of the first part of the loth century. The tune is predicated on the Children of Israel going from the Jordan to Jerusalem, and the
words are arranged so as to be typical of the New Jerusalem. None of the books we have found give the authors name of the music; the words and music have
always gone together, and have not been separated so far as can be found.

This tune is supposed to have been composed by A. Gramblin. We can find nothing more of him other than the fact that he was a member of the Southern
Musical Convention for several years before the war.
No trace of him since the civil war.
The words of this tune are taken from a hymn book called "Mercer's Cluster," revised 1823 and again by same author in 1832, by Jesse Mercer, who lived at
Powellton, Ga., and for a while in Washington County.
Words were written by John Wesley, the founder of Methodism. His history is so well known that it is
unnecessary to state it here. He composed a large number of hymns and changed some of the hymns of his brother, Charles Wesley.

The authorship of the words and music of this tune are unknown. The words represent the great manifestation of the love of God for the world, in giving His
only begotten Son to die for the world and that all who believe in him shall not perish but have everlasting life.
No greater love has ever been expressed in the
world than this.
This tune is one of the stirring melodies of the old sacred songs and is yet loved and highly appreciated by the church people in many sections of
the country.
Tune was printed in the "Southern Harmony," 1835, page 282.

The above song was composed, it is believed, soon after one of the wars with the Indians. The words indicate this. The tune is supposed to have been composed about 1835, but the author of the tune is not given in any of the books so far as we can find. It was first published in the "Southern Harmony," by William
Walker, 1835, see page 94. Nothing further is known of the tune and words. See "Social Harp," by McCurry, 1853, page 167.

"Sweet Home," according to the older histories, was composed by John Howard Payne, being one of the airs of his opera, "Clari, the Maid of Milan," used by
him in London in 1823.
It is asserted by Mackey, an English poet, that Sir Henry Bishop, an eminent musician, composed the music, and that the air of this tune
was of Sicilian nationality. It is certain, however, that John Howard Payne was the author of the words, "Mid scenes and confusion," etc. He was an American,
born in New York in 1701.
He was a singer of great ability, and wrote many tunes. It is claimed by some, and it seems on good authority, that he wrote me music
of "Sweet Home" in
1823, as well as the words, when he was himself homeless, without friends or money, and among strangers, resting, temporarily, In an attic in
Paris.
His fortune after this time, however, improved, and he was appointed by the United States Government as Consul to Tunis, where he died in 1852. He
began his usefulness as a clerk when 13 years of age, and edited a newspaper at that age in New York.
The publishers of "Sweet Home" cleared 2,000 guineas in
*m years. In 1832 more than 100,000 copies had been sold. Returned to America in 1832, and In 1S41 he represented his county as consul, in 185 he was reWointed. The United States has erected a monument over his remains at the Cemetry St, George, Tunis, and a bust has also been placed in Prospect Park,

The original title to this hymn was "The Stranger." This hymn has been set to many different tunes, but more immediately associated with Coles' "Duane
Street" than any other music. This is one of the standard tunes that has stood the test many years and is still popular in many sections of the country. George Coles
in England, 1792, and died In New York City. 1858.
He was editor of the "New York Christian Advocate for several years. He was a musician of notability and a fine singer. In Montgomery's poems, "The Stranger" has seven stanzas. James Montgomery was a minister, was born in Scotland. 1771, and died in 1854.
He was an editor and did a great deal of literary work. He published several volumes of splendid hymns, and was also a musician, He was an English Moravian,

The above tune is one of the old minor melodies. Its source cannot be definitely traced, but words and parts of the tune are found in the song books early in the
Nineteenth Century. There are claims of its authorship from two or three sources, but we do not think they are so fixed as to make it sufficiently established as to
who did really compose the tune. It has words dating back for over a century. There is a hymn in "Southern Harmony" by William Walker, 1835, page 20, which
has the same verse as this and all the hymn. Also see "Old Fashion Bible," 342, and "Blessed Bible," 347.
it is claimed that all
of these tur.es emanated from
lame source. See other statements abomt them under the other two tunes. Alto composed by S, M. Denson, 1911. See "Social Harp," 58.

"Joyful" was originally composed by Rev. Abraham D. Merrell. He was born in New Hamshire 1796 and died in 1878. He was a Methodist minister and preached
over New England. It is claimed that he resembled George W. Washington very much, "Joyful" was linked with Dr. Hunter's hymn, "Death, With Thy Weapons of War Lay Me Low." Major White and E. J. King rearranged the tune in 1844 and put in The Sacred Harp and fixed it for common meter, but retained a part
of the original verse in the chorus.
"Joyful" is a fine tune when properly rendered.
Prof. S; M. Denson added the alto 1911,

From the best information we can get, this tune was named in honor of the celebrated poet. William Cowper.
The words were undoubtedly composed by him.
Ihey are so much in accord with the trend of the hymns composed by this great man, we give him credit for same. We, however, have not been able to find this
in any of the Hymnologies, but have added another verst to it.

Hall was born in Massachusetts in 1785.
He was a farmer, and manufactured straw bonnets, kept a hotel and taught a singing school. Music was only an avocahowever, he was an artist in his way. He composed a number of tunes. From the best information that can be had, he was almost self-taught In music.
Some of his tunes have come down through all the different note books, among them, "Morming Glory,*' "Restoration," "J-losanna," "Harmony," "Zion" "Devotion," and a number of others.
He died 1827. This tune has appeared in The Sacred Harp since 1844. Alto by S. M. Denson, 1911. Harmony is one hundred
years old and stands out as one of the bright, cheerful major tunes. We have been unable to find the author of the words. They may have been composed by Mr.
Hall, author of the tune.

Americh Hall, the authw of the above tune, was born in Raynham. Mass., 1785; died there 1827. He farmed and manufactured straw bonnets, kept tavern and
taught singing z.h .!:.
Music was only an avocation with him. Am^ng his compositions found in some of the ancient tune books are "Morning Glory," "Canaan,"
"Restoration," "Crucifixior," "Harmony," ''Devotion," "Zion" and "All Saints," New, which is said to he his masterpiece. See further remarks about him under
tune "Devotion " o.it'e 48.
Under "Devotion'' it is stated Mr, Hall was born 1718. This is an error, as his birth was 1785. See "Timbrell of Zion" page 319, 1853.

"The Christian Warfare" is an old tune, probably composed in the last part of the 18th Century or the first of the l"9th Century. It is printed in Southern Harmony
by Walker, 1835; page 37. See Christian Harmony 363 by Walker. None of the books we have give the name of the author of the words or music. In Benjamin
It has six verses,
No doubt it appears in the earlier editions of this Hymn Book.
'Joyd's Hymn Book of 1858 we find the hymn title, "The Christian Warfare."

This tune is among the older melodies. It was probably p. inted very early in the 18th Cenlury. It was printed in the "Missouri Harmony" 1837, by Allen D.
Carden, Supplement 1827, and no doubt appears in earlier editions of that book. It was printed in the Sacred Harp by White and King in 1844 and in the same book
up to 1869. The words have lost the name of their author. No trace of them can be found outside of the books above mentioned. 1 1 is quite a favorite with a number of the older singers. It has some pecular minor strains in it we find in no other tune.

The above tune in some of the books is credited to P. Sherman. After careful investigation, we are convinced that this is a mistake. It was composed by Rollin
Sherman who died in Vermont several years ago. He was a teacher of music and published a musical catechism and musical exercises, etc., and was a fine performer
On instrum enta of various kinds. Ho composed a great deal of sacred music. There are some mistakes in the histories about the time when Rollin Sherman was born.

One of the oldest books in which Wfi have been able to find the tune "Greenwich" is the "Presbyterian Psalmist," page 364. This book was printed very early
gather from the remarks on page 364 of this old book
in the 19th century, and perhaps even an earlier date than this; it is highly probable in the 18th century.
Repository of Sacred Music," 1810, page 108.
Also see John Wyeth's
that the tune had been of long standing at the time of this "Presbyterian Psalmist."
find the words "A few tunes embraced in the Assembly's list," so imperfect in their structure that any effort toward appropriate correction would have destroyed the
identity.
These tunes the editor has thought fit to throw together at the close of tb ! s volume without the slightest revision.
See "Sacred Harp," by White and King, 1844 to 1869. Same words in all the oooks. It was first published in the author's book, 1793. "Columbian Harmony."

This tune was rearranged by Sherman between 1330 and 1844. See further remarks about Mr. Sherman under tune Exit, page 181. The tune and words have
been printed in the "Sacred Harp" by White
King from 1844 to 1869. The words of the tune are printed on page 155 of the "Presbyterian Psalmist" mentioned
elsewhere in these sketches. The air to the tune "Protection" is without doubt of very old origin. It is claimed by the Psalmist above named, to be of English source
Mr Sherman's age is mlstated in someof the books.

"Spring" has been in the Sacred Harp since 1644 by White and King. It has also been printed in several other books. See "Lute of Zion" by T. B. Woodbury,
"Spring" is a lively melody and requires close attention to render it correctly. It is clearly a

very old tune for it was in use in the early part of the Nineteenth Century and perhaps long before this. Some claim it is. of English origin. None of the books give
the author of the words or mu.ic.
Sec "Columbian Harmony" by Swann, page 170-. Judging from the words it was written in the Spring by some one who lived in
a section where rainy seasons came during the winter.

There are two sources laying claim to this tune. One is that of ''Moore; " the other by David Morgan, a Presbyterian minister. We are satisfied that Morgan is
the author of the tune.
While it has been applied to other tunes. "Montgomery" has been atIt was applied tc Dr. Watts' hymn, "Early My God Without Delay,"
tached to this hymn for almost one hundred years. See Missouri Harmony, 1827 and 1837, page 8o; Southern Harmony, by Walker 1835 and 1848, page 170; Repository
of Sacred Music," by John Wyeth. page 43, and later editions, 1910.
Morgan was a noted minister, preaching both in America and England. The most powerful
revival the world has ever witnessed occurred under his ministry 1857-8. See further about him on pages 391-2 Brown & Butterwo 'Ys "Story of Hymns and Tunes."

Dr. Dyke afterward rearranged the tune. He was a great music composer and all along from 1830 up to the time of his death, composed a lot of fine sacred songs,
as well as many valuable hymns.
He was almost the equal of Lowell Mason. He died 1876. He was a man of great ability and influence as a musician and minister.

the author of the above tune. We are inclined to believe that this is a mistake; we think that the tune was composed by
Roland Sherman, who died in Vermont several years ago. He was a teacher of music of much reputation. He published several works on the subject of music, and
was a very fine performer on instruments of various kinds, and composed a great deal of sacred music, however, the~e are some mistakes in the history about the birthday of Mr Sherman, his birth
was of much earlier date than given in some of the histo-ies. "Tiis tuê also a-pea t 'n the Southern Harmony by William Walker,

We have
been unable to find out anything about Mr. Guilford, the author of the above tune, The tune however is of long standing. It is published in the Southof Walker 1835 and 1848 page 167, and the Missonri Harmony by Carden 1827 and 1837 page 85 and the the early edition of Same book.
Also See SoHarp by John G McCurry 1855 page 180. The most we can find out about the author of this music is that he lived in Connecticut in the early part of the 18th
Century. Also see John Wyeths Repository of Sacred Music 1810 page 59.
The tune is suppossed to have been composed about 1800.

This tune is one of the old melodies. The hymn was originally in "Psalmist No. 20." It was composed 1719, title of the hymn was "God and His Church of
Giace and'Glory." It is based on the last part of the 84th Psalm. The hymn has five stanzas. The author of the music is unknown, however it is a very old song,
printed in ""Missouri Harmony" of 1827 and 1837, page 79, and in the "Southern Harmony" by Walker in 1835, page 162, and in-the "Social Harp by McGurry" in
1855.

The tune "Ocean" was composed by Timothy Swan in 1793, and published in that year in the ''New England Harmony" by Timothy Swan. He was born
1760 at Sheffield, Conn. See other remarks about him in different sketches in this book. Tune has appeared in different books. See " Missouri Harmony," by
Walker, 1827 and 1837, page 4; John Wyeth'e "Repository of Sacred Music," 1810, page 30, as well as a large number of other books. In all of the books it
retains the same words, but the author of the words is not given so far as we have been able to find.

different claims about the tune.

Some claim that it was composed .by John Reading, but the most reliMarco, the Portuguese, a muscian born 1763, who became a composer of music in Italy at an early age.
He was
Chapel Master to the Portuguese King
He died in Italy in 1830. For further history of this matter would refer to the story of hymns and tunes by Brown and Butterworth, pages 205 and 206.
Poituguese Hymn has been published in Missouri Harmony, 1827 and 1837, page 120: in the American Psalmody, 1812, page 205; in
"Church Choirs of the Early Date," page 30; in "Boston Academy of Music,'' page 238: In 'Church Music" by R. H. Vail, page 19. "The Boston Hayden
Society," page 239, and in many other songbooks, all dating early in the 19th century.

The above ode is supposed to have been composed by E. J. King in or about 1844 for the "Sacred Harp" of B. F. White & E. J. King. Walker in his book, called
"The Chistian Harmony," 1866, says that King died soon after getting out the Sacred Harp 1844, other sources claim that he was living long after that. He was one
of the c- -npilers of the Sacred Harp in 1844.
See full history of him under "Reverential Anthem," page 234 and 235. Alto to this tune was composed byS. M. Denson, 19.'
It is supposed that Prof. King composed the words of this tune; it Is claimed that he was an educated man. and started out with bright prospects, as a musician, hit died at an early age.

This is one of the oldest in the American song and tune book. The first book we have before us, in which it appears is John Wyeth's song book, "Repository of
Sacred Music." It is on page 130, being the first edition to this book above named. This book is published on four shape headed notes, me, fa, sol, la, and has 132
pages. There may be other pages that belong to the book as it old and seems to have been rebound. The ode also appears in the "Missouri Harmony" by Allen
and D. Carden, 1837, same shape and number of notes. It also is printed in William Walker's "Southern Harmony," 1835, page 210, and in the "Sacred Harp,"
1844 to 1869.

John Wyelh in his tune book Repository of Sacred music 1810, 1816, and 1826, page 50 credits the ode or anthem to Temple and M. We have been unable, however, to
find out a-ythingabout these authors.
It is highly probable that Chas. W. H- Temple was born in Claremont, N. H., in 1801, was either a son or close relative to the
Temple who composed Claremont. It is believed that Claremont was named for the town, Claremont in the state of New Hampshire. Chas. W. H. Temple commenced
teaching music in 1817.
He '.vent to Cincinnati, Ohio, then to Oxford, and was associated in the music societies in 1817. He taught music for fifty-five years, and
composed some hi^li class sacred music. This tune also appears in the Southern Harmouy, by Wm. Walker, 1835, page 183, in the Missouri Harmony, by Carden,
1827, and 1837, page 155, ana many other sacred song books.

William Bobo, theauthor of the above tune, resided at Union, S. C, and was living there prior to 1866. Since that time, we have been unable
to get any
formation about him. He composed several tunes in William Walker's song Book, "Christian Harmony," "Fruits and Flowers." The chorus in this
tune wass oomposed by William Walker.
He published the "Southern Harmony." "Fruits and Flowers" and other music books. Tne tune as here appears has been revised into
four shape notes by S. M. Denson, '91 1. The hymn was composed by Francis Baker Priest, and first published in the publication of James Boden. 18OI.

Helena, then a resident at Duke street, in the township of Windle. Composed several hymn tunes; died in 1793. He was killed by being thrown from a stage-coach.
He was a fine music teacher and director and composed a great many valuable tunes. The verse is a part of another hymn. See "Southern Harmony" by William

"Hebron" is among the old melodies, published in the early tune and song books of America. See "Southern Harmony," 1835, by Walker, page 288. The
hymn was composed by Isaac Watts, 1707, and published by him under title of "An Evening Hymn." See other remarks in this volume about Isaac Watts. Lowell

"Uxbridge" is one of Lrwell Mason's first group of tunes, It is a fine old church harmony and has been in a great many of the hymnals and song books, but in
nearly all of them it has been assoctated with Dr. Watts' hymn, "The Heavens Declare thy Glory.*
We have put in these words in order to get a number of verses.
The old hymn is not obtainable. There is so much said about Dr. Mason it is not necessary to repeat it. The hymn is one of Dr. Watts" best. The title of the
hymn is "The Books of Nature and Spripture Compared," published "1719.

belonged to the Chattdhoochee and Southern Musical Conventions, but what finally became of him we have up to this writing failed to find. He composed the above
tune, Lebanon, New" and "New Port."
See page 294. The hymn was composed by Charles Wesley, first published 1747, It has five verses and is considered a
splendid hymn. See numerous sketches of Charles Wesley. Alto by S. M. Denson, 191 1.

The original title to this hymn was "Prospect of Heaven Makes Death Easy." It was written by the author at his home in Southampton, while sitting at a
window, looking over the waters and beautiful scenery. This hymn suggests the leading of the children of Israel to the banks of the stream which separated
them from the promised land, that God had long before promised to the childeren of Israel. The crossing of the river has ever been an image of the glorious home of

This is considered one of Isaac Watts' best hymns, especially in remiding one of Fruition Day. The tune, "New Jerusalem," was composed by Jeremiah Ingalls.
He was born 1764 and died 1828. Further details appear about him under the tune "Northfield." See John Wyeth "Repository of Music," 1810, page 38.

After diligent search, we have been unable to find the author of the above tune.
It has been in The Sacred Harp since the revision In 1850.
It is highly probable
that the tune was composed by David or Daniel Morgan. Any way, it is believed to be named after the celebrated musician, David Morgan. There are short notices
of Samuel, David and Daniel Morgan in these sketches with different tunes In the book.

William Walker in his "Christian Harmony," page 294, credited the fore-going tune to the "Hesperian Harp'' composed by William Houser. He first pullshed
the "Hesperian Harp" in 1837, and finally completed it in 1848.
Mr. Houser's book consisted of 576 pages, and the author says he had dilligently labored for twelve
.years in preparing the work for publication. Houser was a Georgian, but of German decent.
He resided for a long time in Jefferson county. His book was printed
in four notes, fa. sol, la. me. He had a strong treaties in his book in favor of the use of these sylables. in which he stated they are fully adequet, "To the expression of
every musical sound in a scale;" and that four shapes the glorious Datent notes of fcWilliam Smith and William Little are just the thing indeed." The words of this
tune appear in "Mercer's Cluster," page 95, Presb>terian Psalmist," 238, "Timble of Zion," 171, and "Temple Harp," 155.

The above hymn was composed by John Leland, a Baptist minister; born in Massachusetts 1754, died 1841. His life and writings were published 1845 by Miss L
Green. The history, "Oh When Shall See Jesus?'' appears in several places in this book. E. L. King, author of the above tune, was on the committee to make
first appendix to the Sacred Harp 1850, and engaged with the committee in their revision.
See page 263. He was a close relative of E. J. King, one of the compilers of the Sacred Harp.
E. L. King has three tunes in the appendix to the Sacred Harp he helped to write, to-wit: "Parting Friends," "The Lost City,
and "The
Cause of Christ." He was a young man in 1850; a splendid director of music. He w^s one of the organizers of the Southern Musical Convention in 1845. We have
no data of him since the Civil War.

Mary Stanley Bunce Dana was born in Buaford. S. C. 1810. and died in Texas, 1883. Her husband died while they were on a visit to the Northern States
mained Mr. Dana, and afterwards became Mrs. Shindler. She wrote several hymns besides the above, and among them she wrote, on the death of her busam a Pilgrim and a Stranger." She was a great and good woman. Ma). B. F. White re-arranged "Soft Music" in 1850. The tune as it originally stood
was a German Air. as it is shown by a number of early song books in the early part of the nineteenth century. It appears in the Social Harp by John G. Me Curry
page 76. The Christian Harmony by William Walker. 1866, page 239. Mr. Walker printed the music in his book, called "Pruits and Flowers," page 238
and a collection of olj hvmns by the early American Society of old hymns and tunes in the nineteenth century. The Air of SOFT MUSIC is laid down as being an
old German Air. B. F. White in 1850, arranged the present tune of the Sacred Harp. Walker harmonized the Air for his books above named.

The above tune was composed by Thomas Waller. He lived in Upson county, Ga He taught singing school in that county with Prof. H. S. Rees. He died in
the late Civil War. He was a fine teacher, leader and singer. He belonged to the Southern Musical Convention from 1850 up to the time he died in the war. He was
something over thirty years old at the time of his death. The words to this tune were re-arranged by Mr. Waller, and chorus added at the same time he composed the tune.

It must have been 1850
It was in the
first appendix of the Sacred Harp in 1850, so it could not have been dated 1853, although that date is mentioned in connection with the tur>e in the Sacred Harp.

We have
searched diligently for the author of the above named tune, but have been unable from any of the song books we have examined, running up into
the hundreds of the old books, from fifty years back of that, but none of them disclose the authors name further than the treble which was composed by William Houser.
He was an author of the Hesperian Harp, published in 1837 to 1847. He was a Georgian, and published his book in this state. The hymn as it appears in the song,
was taken from "Mercer's Cluster, published by Jesse Mercer in 1823, 3rd edition, page 508; alto composed by S. M. Denson, 1911.

It is one of the temperance songs, composed for a temperance association,
called
the sons of temperance. This association had quite a collection of tunes on the same order of the above.
This tune is supposed to have been taken from one of these
collections.
It also appears in the Christian Harmony by Walker 1866 page 358, also in Missouri Harmony by Carden in 1827, and
published in many other songs
and tune books. Walker in his book gives William Houser credit for the treble.

be published.
The air of thin tune is one of the old national melodies of America, and in its Seculor form it was called "Old Rosen the Bow." It took its present name, "Sawyers Exit,'' from Rev. S. B. Sawyer. The words of the tune were composed by him on the day of his death, with a request that they be applied to tlie melody and
published, and on completing the words his spirit took its eternalflight into its new life.
Prof. Massengale applied the words to the tune. These words composed by this
christian man, shows the glorious and triumphant death of the righteous.
See numerous sketches of John Massagale in other parts of this volume. We have no
further data about Mr. Sawyer than the above.

thought that Leonard P. Breedlove made some changes in the treble of the music, and re-arranged the chorus. The air of "Happy Land" came from the Hindots, and is being hummed in the Pagan temple, and has been sung all over the world wherever missionaries have roamed. The musician, Samuel Wesley, some time
in 1840, Iried to substitute another melody to thes^ lines, but "There is a happy land'' seemed to carry forth its own name, and cannot be supplanted by another melody.

L. P. Breedlove, author of the above tune, has nine other tunes in this book. Two reports of him are that he died in South Georgia, thirty years since, the other,
that he removed out west thirty-five years ago.
He assisted in Revision of the Sacred Harp 1850. Seepage 263, first supplement. It is claimed he was a fine leader
and composer, and had a strong, smooth voice, especially for bass. Words are part of hymn on page 170. See history, thus, changed to fit this tune, by author.

He only composed this one tune and hymn, so far as we have been able to ascertain. Neither have we found the time of his birth, or where and when he
died.
He was a teacher; and taught music in and around Georgia and Alabama for several years. The words to this tune are printed in '"Mercers' Cluster" by Jesse
Mercer. 1823. 3rd edition, page 231. He was of of Powellton, Ga., and wrote several editions of this book before and after the one above named. See "Zion's Songster," 1832, by Mason, page 132.

Norwich is credited in the Sacred Harp to D. P. White. The outlines of the tune can be traced back to many of the early books in the 19 century, but it was rearranged and re-moddled by D. P White for the 3rd appendix of the Sacred Harp in 1869. "Norwich" is one of the oW line melodies. D. P.White was the son of B.
F. White.
He died in Texas several years ago. He married in the state and his wife is also dead. He has a daughter at this time, 1911, living near Mt. Selmon,
Texas. Mr. White was extremely fond of music and composed well. He taught music in Alabama and Texas for many years. The outlines of the tune are published
in "Mason's Halleluiah" 233 and in the "Presbyterian Psalmist nearly one hundred years ago.

words of this tune were composed by the celebrated hymnist, William Cowper, 1779. See various sketches of him in this volume. L. L. Leadbeatter was a Methodist preacher, and helped Major White to compose two or three tunes.
Mr. Leadbeater resided at Hamilton, Harris County, Ga., at the time.

Low, we have left all and followed thee.

The hymn has six
double stanzas. This is said to be one of tho noblest of our Christian Lyric. Henry Francis Lyte, a clergyman of the church of England, was born in 1793, ordainod
minister in 1818, and died in 1847.
W. S. Turner was a methodist minister, author of the above tune, died at Fort Valley, Ga. in 1891. He composed a large number of hymns and tunes, and was an itinerant preacher.
For a full sketch of Turner, we refer to James' brief history of Sacred Harp, page 137.
And also see page
390 in this volumn.

The tune "Hingham" is supposed to have been composed about 1859, but the author is not known; the words were composed by Isaac Watts, 1767. The tune
"Newry," is credited in the Sacred Harp of 1869, to M. C. H. Davis. In history of him under Liverpool, page 37. In history of Rev. B. Beddome, Author of the hymn
under tune "Weeping Saviour," page 33,

5 M. Ball, one of the cor posers of the above tune, was one of the revisors of The Sacred Harp. See further sketches of him in other parts of this book. We
have no history of Mr. Drinkard. It is supposed that the authors either set this music to the words composed by somebody else, or arranged the same themselves from
some incident of a son who was dying away from home and giving to his father, mother, and brother, and sending message to his children. The stanzas are selfexplanatory,

an associate of B. F. White in the early days of The Sacred Harp.
He has been a hard student, and nas done much to advance the cause of music in this State and
South.
He was one of thi revisors of The Sacred Harp, and helped to add an appendix to it In 1850. He has belonged to the Southern Musical Convention
over half a century, and has been the president of it for many years. He has composed a large number of music books and much valuable music in other books
than his own,
He invented a new system of music, notes or characters in the notes, and has published a great many of his tunes in his own notation. He is well up
in music on all lines, and continues to teach and attend all the music gatherings, and is full of energy and activity for a man of his age, and bids fair to live many

1850 for the second appendix of The Sacred Harp. We have no data in relation to Mr. Waldrup other than
that he belonged to the Southern Musical Convention, and to the Chattahoochee Singing Convention between 1850 and 1860. Since that time we have no data about
him. Prof. S. M. Denson composed the alto to this tune in 1911.
Mary Masters composed the above hymn in 1750. There are only two verses in the entire hymn. She was an English poetess, born 1702. It is said that she enjoyed very poor educational advantages. She published a volume of poetry in 1 733 and a second appendix in 1755. The year of her death Is unknown. This hymn
is published in "Thomas* Hymns," fn "Loyd's Hymn Books," and in "Mercer's Cluster. '

APPENDIX TO THE SACRED HARP.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE,
Nov. 1869.
The Committee appointed by the "Southern Musical Convention of the State of Georgia." at its last session, to whom were referred the revision and enlargement
of the Sacred Harp, "beg leaf to make the following report.
In discharging the duties of said appointment to the best of their ability, they carefully examined the
work, and corrected a few verbal and typographical errors whish had escaped detection in the previous edition. In this Appendix they have introduced a large number of new compositions from the pens of the most eminent teachers and composers of vocal music. They have also displaced several pieces in the body of the work
for others which they think will prove favorite compositions.
In the judgment of the Committee The Sacred Harp is now fully suited to the wants of the singing public, and will meet the taste and feelings of the Southern people.
All of which is respectfully submitted.

See history of H. S. Rees under tune, "Traveling Pilgrim." page 278. He lives at Turin, Ga., at the present time, 1911, and has lived in Coweta county for
any years. He is a minister of the Baptist church and engaged in the service of his Master for over 60 years. A man without a blemish on his character, and a
twin brother of J. P. Rees, mentioned in these sketches. See full history of Miss Elliott in Sankey's Stories of the Gospel Hymn, published in 1906, page 136. She
became a Christian woman by Dr. Malan telling her to come to Christ and "take me just as am without one plea." Her brother, H. V. Elliott, was an eminent
divine.
These words are in all the leading hymn and song books wherever the Christian religion is taught. Miss Elliott was born in England, 1789, died 1871.
Chorus was arranged by Prof. Rees.

"Ths tune "Gospel Pool" was composed by the author for the fourth editition of the Sacred Harp in 1869. The other tune on this page, "The Teacher's Farewell." was composed in 1858, but not published till 1869.
Neither of these tunes have ever been published in any other book, so far as we have been able to find.
Mr. Dumas was a primitive Baptist minister and lived in Monroe County, Ga. He was for a long time the Ordinary of that county, died about 40 vears ago and is
buried at Forsyth, Ga.
He was musical, was a splendid director of large classes of vocal singing. He composed 16 tunes in this Song Book. See full sketch about
him in James History of the Sacred Harp, 1904, page 107, as well as the different remarks about him in connection with his tunes in this book. He was a fine teacher of
music.

The first tune above, "Sharon's Lovely Rose," was composed by Henry G. Mann, and "Charming Sound" was composed for the Sacred Harp, fourth editio
Henry G. Mann and R. F. M. Mann were closely related. R. F. M. has quite a number of tunes, under several of which sketches are given of him. H. G. Mann was
a Georgian.
He died a great many years ago. He composed "Fleeting Days," "Blooming Youth," "Sharon's Lovely Rose" and "Peaceful Rest" in this volume.
If he ever composed any other music we have not found it. See page 45 for histar/ of Pnillip Dadirid ge, author of words to "Charming Sound."

''Jesus, Lover of My Soul," is entitled to the position of number one in all hymnody, and the entire Church with absolute unanimity assigned to it the first place, while, in Dr. Benson's "Rock of
Ages," it is the only hymn he puts before "Jesus, Lover of My Soul." Dr. Ellis Thompson, in his "National Hymn Book of American Churches." places this hymn
equal with "Rock of Ages." S. B. Marsh was born 1798 and died 1875. There Is but little said of hin"i as a musician. The music to this tune shows that he had at
least gathered all of the essential elements to give to the world one of the standard melodies, it is equal toToplady's"Rockof Ages" and Oliver Holden's "Coronation."

There is wide differences of opinion about when Robert Robinson composed the hymn "Come Thy Fount of Every Blessing," of which the above third verse
was taken. Some claim it was written as early as 1758 and others in 1790, and still others 1781. See full history of Dr. Robinson in English Hymns, by "Duffleld,"
page 116, and "Our Hymns and Their Authors," by Tillett, No. 525. J. D. Arnold and C. F. White arranged this tnne for the fourth edition of the Sacred Harp in
1869, or perhaps at an earlier date than this. From the best information we can obtain both Arnold and White are dead.

There is no trace given in any of the books as to the authorship of the above tune or words, so far as we have been able to find except As above,
It was placed in the Sacred Harp's fourth edition
a similarity between this tune and some melodies in two or three of the old books from which the outlines are taken.
See Social Harp
The words no doubt are fragments of some published hymn, but so changed as to make it difficult to find the source from whence it came.

Carter in other parts of these remarks. This tune was originally in the Sacred Harp, by White & King, on page 108, and was removed
by ihe revisors of that book and "Weeping Saviour' and "Traveler" inserted in its place. Alto composed 191 1 by S. M. Denson. The tune has been rearanged materially for this edition of the Sacred Harp, 181 1. The hymn was by John Bowring.
He got the idea of the words by hearing it sung by the missionarys In
Turkey. It has three verses. He was a distinguished politician, statesmaT and literary man, born 1792 in England. Many years he represented his country in
China, was a Unitarian in faith; died 1872.
He published a volume of hyms in 1823 and in 1825.

The above tune as it here appears was re-arranged by Geo. B. Daniel, 1911. It was originally published in the Sacred Harp,
but was removed by the revisors and the tune "Timmons" put in its place. It is claimed by manv singers that "Jordan's Shore" is better tune than "Timmmons," especially
since it has been corrected by Mr, Daniel.
(See hUtory of Samuel Stennett, author of the words under tune ''Promised Land," page 128; of Geo. B. Daniel on page
534.)
"Jordan's Shore" is an old melody remodeled by J. T. "Vhtte in 1344, with a few notes changed in it. It appears in the song books of the early part of the
Nineteenth Century, but ncne of these early books give the author of the music.

The above tune was composed by T. and J. R. Turner, in 1850. We have been unable to find out anylhing of T. Turner. J. R. Turner helped to revise the
Sacred Harp in 1850. Professor James R. Turner was born in Hancock County in 1807, died in 1874, and was buried at Wesley Chapel, Villa Rica, Ga. He was the

more than forty years. He was a great and good man. His son, W. S. Turner, and himself composed music, and intended to publish a song book, but died befoie
doing so. A full history of J R. Turner appears in James' "Brief History of the Sacred Harp." pages 91-95. He was a member of the Chattahoochee Music Convention from the tirr.e of its organization in 1852 up to the time ot his death. He gave the writer his first instruction in music.

This tune was in the Sacred Harp page 330. and was removed by the revisors and "Love Divine and Sacred Music," inserted in its place. This tune was composed by Wm. Walker, 1837' and was first published in his book called the "Hesperian Harp" using the four shaped notes, his book contained 576. pages first edition
1837. and supliment 1848.
He was a Georgian and lived at a place called Sprires Turn Out Ga. Mr. Houser had quite a reputation as a composer, in the south.
said that his book was the largest Church Music Book ever published up to its date. Mr. Houser was a fine teacher, he worked eleven years on his book before
he completed it. No data about when he was born or died, it is claimed he was of German decent: we fird this note in the Christian Harmony page 262. in honor of
Rev. Chas. Collins Pres. of the Williams and Henry College Virginia. No trace of the author of the words can be found, same words in all the books above mentioned.

It appears in the author's "Hymns and Spiritual Songs,'*

of the hymn was, "The Hopes of Heaven Our Support Under Trials on Earth.''
Book No. 3. Vsrse two, line two, was originally written "hellish darts" instead of "fiery darts." In the third stanza, " may I " instead of "so 1." This precious
hymn is held in high esteem wherever the English language is spoken. It is applied to many different standard tunes in the Protestant church hymn books, it is
one of the standard hvmns, and so recognized in the "National Hymn Book," and by the leading Protestant churches of America. The Saints Delight is one of the
old songs.
See Southern Harmony by Walker 1835. page 104 Christian Harmony, same author 159. It was once in the Sacred Harp, page 154, and was removed
by revisors 1869, and tunes Holy Land and Eden insertod in its place. Alto has been composed by S. M. Denson and some other corrections and tune put back in
the Sacred Harp afteran absence of 40 years atthe suggestion ofT. B. Newton. No trace can be found of its author F. Price.

This is a new tune composed for the Fifth Edition of the Sacred Harp of 1911. The words we the same as those found in "Pilgrim's Farewell." See page
185.
Also in Southern Harmony by Wm. Walker, 1835 and 1948, page 158, Also see Mercer's Cluster, by Jesse Mercer, 1823, page 366. None of these books give
the name of the author of the words.
It is believed by tne composer that the above tune will prove itself worthy of the approbation of the lovers of sacred songs, See
hymn in Zion Songs**-. 1832, page 269, also book revised 1850, page 221.

The above tune was composed by S. M. Denson on the date above stated for this sth edition of the "Original Sacred Harp." The words were selected and
arranged in this tune by J. S. James. The tune is entirely original, and will no doubt prove to be a valuable minor piece of music. See history of S. M. Denson,
page 529 in this volume. The hymn to which the music is attached is one of Chas. Wesley's best. It is up to date in every respect, and is printed throughout
After this tune and music were
Christendom. See history of Chas. Wesley in quite a number of these sketches, and especially under the tune "Arnold," page 285.
ready for the plate (market), we received the tune "Burdette," on page 523, from Whit Denson. We have printed same words to both tunes, one for the father and
the other for the son. Whit Denson is the son of S. M. Denson.

The above tune was composed by S. M. Denson for the Fifth Edition of the Sacred Harp of 1911. Words were arranged by J S. James from Rev. Isaac Watts'
hymn, based on the 90th Psalm. It has seven stanzas and the present words have been arranged from the first verse. This is considered as one of the best hymns
The tune has been composed while aiding
in this country and in England,
It
is
in the National Hymn Book and in Eenson's Best Hymns of America.
in compiling the Fifth Appendix to the Sacred Harp of 1369

"Christ's Message." It is considered Doddridge's masterpiece. It is taken from the Author's Hymn Book of 1755, and is published in all fhe leading hymn books of the world.
The hymn has five verses, but only two of them are in this tune. Phillip Doddrige, D.D., was an English Congregationalist.
He was born 1702 and died 1752 of consumption, He was a noted scholar and was a Non-conformist as a mirister. He was for a long time pastor of
the Congregational church at North Hampton, and was a man of great power and influence. He composed some of the best standard hymns in the English language.
See further about him under tune "Ninety-Third Psalm," page 31. This tune was composed by John G. McCurry, 1855. (See Social Harp, by him, page 83. Also
see further remarks about McCurry under tutie, "Goodby, page 507). The above re-arrangement of the tune "Raymond" is made by S. M. Denson and J. S.
James, 1911.

Hall, author of the above tune was born 1785; at Rayham, Mass., died 1827.
"All Saints New," is claimed by the histories as being his master piece of
music. It is rather difficult to render, yet it is a very fine old melody. See further remarks about Hall under tune "Devotion," page 48. "All Saints New," was in
the Sacred Harp, page 268 and 269.
It was removed by the Revisors in 1850, and "Sweet Afton," and "Bare Creek" inserted.
It has
come back again in 1911,
with the new arrangements, and finds its place in the 5th edition. Alto by S. M. Denson, 1911, and other parts improved. See sketch of above in other parts of this
work. This tune is in Missouri Harmony 1837 and 1827, pages 96 and 97.
