This old gospel song has been included on many religious-themed audio compilations, and has been covered by many singers, including The Carter Family, Johnny Cash, Jim Reeves and others. Although James C. Moore is thought to have written the song in 1914, the Library of Congress dates the song to 1879 and credits one William Pond.
