This is from Alexander Street (in your Resources Folder - American Song through UC Berkeley Music Library)--will take you a LONG way past commercial versions more easily available--and give you a sense of how the song is hereby returned to its gospel roots (which began with songs like Laura Henton's Heavenly Sunshine, from 1930). This version comes after all the intervening years of R&B and Soul Music 1950-70...
Songs of Faith: Southern Gospel Hymns is the album name:
