This song comes from the 1872 edition of Jubilee Songs: as sung by the Jubilee Singers, of Fisk University<\/em> (New York: Bigelow & Main, 1872). It’s characteristic of the best arrangements of the Fisk Jubilee Singers, with unison singing on the verses, followed by simple but effective four-part harmonies on the refrains. It’s possible to teach this kind of simple arrangement to an entire congregation, with not too much effort (though you have to be intentional about it).<\/p>\n
