Description: Published in The Hesperian Harp 1848. Words by Charles Wesley, 1762, amended 1779, with three stanzas of meter S. M. D. each, which translates to six S. M. stanzas.
This tune appears was originally written by Ananias Davisson in 1816 with words by Isaac Watts, "My God, my life, my love!" The 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).
