Description: Words by John Newton, 1779, with three stanzas of eight lines each (87. 87. D.). Walker used half of one stanza of Newton's hymn.

The melody (Tenor) was originally written by James P. Carrell in his Songs of Zion, 1835, called Jewin Street, with words from Robert Robinson's hymn, Come, thou fount of every blessing. William Walker's version was re-arranged by T. B. Newton and S. W. Everett for the 1911 edition of The Sacred Harp, p. 312; they returned to the words of Robinson's hymn.
