General information
Here is a song, which doth belong is a text first recorded in the Hymn Tune Index in 1794, as the underlay of the tune 'West-Sudbury' by William Billings. Billings attributes the text as 'Words from Mr. John Peck', but only gives one Double Common Metre verse. Elisha West of Woodstock, Vermont similarly set the hymn to a Double Common Meter tune ('Solemn Song') in his collection The Musical Concert (Northampton: 1802).
A Selection of Hymns from the Best Authors, compiled by Paul Himes and Jonathan Wilson (Greenfield, MA: published by Clark & Hunt, 1818) gives seven Common Metre verses of the text, as Hymn 123.
