It looks like this one has been composed and recomposed a number of times. Here are a couple more references:

"Sweet Canaan"
John McCurry, The Social Harp (Philadelphia, 1855)

"Sweet Canaan"
Words & music by Rev. John Moffitt (1829);
White & King, Sacred Harp (1844; 1971 edn.) p.87
Roud 2839

But I can't find lyrics or sheet music for either, so I really can't be sure how they compare to the other variants listed here.
