You can also sing it to the theme from "Gilligan's Island." But don't bother trying to keep a straight face.

I'm looking for the origin of the "When we've been there 10,000 years" verse. I'm told it's not John Newton's. Judy Collis sang it, but does anyone happen to know where she got it?

This question came up on the discussions@fasola.org list and has already been bandied about among the experts there (shapenotes and hymnals experts).
