Composed by Albert E. Brumley. Arranged by Bob Eggers. 20th Century,A Cappella,Christian,Spiritual. Octavo. 6 pages. ROBERT J EGGERS #761670. Published by ROBERT J EGGERS (A0.1161327).
An inspiring gospel piece with a sweet melody that will delight all audiences. This arrangement is scored for a tenor soloist plus TTBB a cappella accompaniment. My own a cappella group performed it for many years and it was one of our most requested numbers. We often closed our performances with it. It's great for school or collegiate groups, and very easy to learn and sing. The feel of this arrangement is much like Geoff Muldaur's setting with guitar on The Secret Handshake.
This song dates back 1o 1919, but Brumley codified it in 1937 with his arrangement in Favorite Radio Songs. Woodie Guthrie loved the song, but created his own set of more secular lyrics. This arrangement bridges both settings, with Woody's lyrics for the concluding verse, which nonetheless fit the gospel message quite well.
