Description: Published in Kentucky Harmony, 1816. Words by Isaac Watts, 1709, Hymn 93 of Book 2, with eight stanzas.

This tune appears on page 47 of The Sacred Harp from 1844 to the present; modern editions include amendments by William Moore in 1825 (Treble) and by William Walker in 1867 (Alto). From Walker's Southern Harmony (1835) on, other words have been substituted: Charles Wesley 1763, "And am I born to die?"

The tune is based on a folk song (Jackson 1933, p. 177; Jackson 1953b, p. 155).
