Description: Words by Joseph Hart, 1759, with eight stanzas. This tune is a precursor to Thirtieth [Psalm] (attributed to Amzi or Lucius Chapin) in Patterson's Church Music, 1813, according to Steel and Hulan (2010). I consider them different tunes (Temperley, Hymn Tune Index), with some similarity.
