This is wonderful John Henry. It's an old favorite of mine and you give it that good, doomy, gloomy Southern sound. Excellent work.Tish, it's a Sacred Harp song. Daniel Read, who along with Wiliam Billings, was part of the First New England School, either wrote the tune or transcribed it from oral tradition and published it in 1785. The words are from an Isaac Watts poem.There are several versions on YouTube.Rod posted Don Pedi's version here .Mark's concertina version is here

Tish! thank you for your kind comment, I got it from 'paltalkscene' Rod Westerfield, and it has been mentioned on this site once or twice in lists of minor key hymns, I think a link with Don Pedi? I was just experimenting with my TMB in the version I posted, tuned DAc, and played 'freely'. Mark Gilston sings and plays a more authentic version. It sounds good on the bowed psaltry!!!JohnI
