Haruo, Pisgah is a great old folk hymn that works well with lots of Common Meter words. I've come across it in a number of newer hymnals. I took Ginny Hawker's Primitive Baptist singing at Augusta this summer. Some of the tunes she used were unfamiliar to me, but I did recognize Pisgah as one she did use. I'd have to look at my notes to see what words were used.

Cowgirl, given all the information already in this thread & the ones linked, it's really hard to help you unless you're more specific. As a tune it's a folk hymn with no identified original composer, and many identified adaptors and editors. I think most have already been mentioned. Unfortunately, the Harmonia Sacra seems to have gone missing.

In general, it's not uncommon to pare a hymn down to 4-5 verses no matter how long the original. Newton's original 6 verses have been added to & pared down both.
