General information
This is an hymn by Jared Waterbury, first published in Andrew Leavitt's Christian Lyre 1830, where it is attributed to "J. B. W.". A variation of this version is considered the authentic hymn by Jared Waterbury in Charles Nutter, Hymn Studies, 1900; and in John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, 1905. See Soldiers of the cross, arise / Lo, your Captain for a similar but very different hymn. Meter is 77. 76. 78. 86 in the first stanza. 77. 76. D in the other two.
