Quoted lyrics

[edit]

"The lyrics appear in the book as follows" - It's a quote. Yet people keep "correcting" the original lyrics. Since they are clearly shown in the picture anyway, I'm going to delete them from the text. Rosekelleher (talk) 07:20, 24 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Origins unknown

[edit]

The hymns origins are not known. It is incorrect to say that "Research suggests that it was composed by an African-American slave". That is mere speculation.Royalcourtier (talk) 07:49, 16 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The earliest known publication of the song was in a book of SLAVE SONGS. If you can prove that it was written by someone other than a slave, then by all means, show us your reliable sources. Otherwise, it's safe to assume it was written by a slave. Rosekelleher (talk) 18:02, 16 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
