This hymn was contained in Gospel Hymns Nos. 1 to 6 Complete (1895, p. 250 [no. 244]), edited by Sankey and others, where the author's name was "anon." In any way, the author is Lowry, the composer Sankey (Samuel J. Rogal, Sing Glory Hallelujah: Historical and Biographical Guide to Gospel Hymns Nos. 1 to 6 Complete, Greenwood, 1996, p. 86). I can't understand why this is called a Shaker hymn. I checked Daniel Patterson's The Shaker Spiritual (Princeton, 1979), but of course this is not there.
