Originally called The Faithful Soldier in 1835, the initial particle was dropped in later editions of Southern Harmony. A folk hymn, based on an Irish folk song (Jackson 1953a, No. 59). This tune was also arranged by William Hauser in 1848, for four parts. Words by John Leland, 1793, with seven stanzas; variant by William Walker.
