That's absolutley fantastic Stewie! From this I would conclude that my manuscript was published sometime before 1892 and possibly 10 - 15 years prior to this.

The (partial) contents of the Fisk Song Book were:

Steal away to Jesus
A great camp-meeting in the promised land
Bright sparkles in the churchyard
Chilly Water
Didn't my Lord deliver Daniel
Did not old Pharaoh get lost
Did you hear my Jesus ?
Gideon's Band
Good Lord, shall I ever be one ?
Gospel Train
Hard Trials
Humble yourself
I ain't got weary yet
I'll be there in the morning
In that great getting-up morning
In the River ot Jordan
I want to be ready
Keep me from sinking down
Lord's Prayer
My Lord's writing all the time
My Lord delivered Daniel
Nobody knows the trouble I've seen
Oh sinner, you'd better get ready
Oh, then my little soul's going to shine
Oh, was'nt that a wide river ?
Peter, go ring them bells
Reign, Master Jesus
Religion is fortune
Roll, Jordan roll
Run, Mary, run
Swing low, sweet chariot:
Tell Jesus
There's a meeting here to-night
Way over Jordan
We'll stand the storm
What kind of shoes are you going to wear

Many thanks, John
