About the Song
Our songbook Rise Again mistakenly attributes this song to the Stanley Brothers. This gospel hymn was actually written a number of years earlier well before the Stanley Brothers recorded an adaptation of the song. It was first published in 1922 in a songbook called Hallelujahs: for Sunday Schools, Singing-Schools, Revivals, Conventions and General Use in Christian Work and Worship.
There have been many variants of this hymn recorded by different artists and included in various collections. The original version is in the public domain.
