The lyrics posted by Joe Offer above are the same as those in HymnTime.com, where it says the song was printed in The Joy Bells of Canaan: Burning Bush Songs No. 2, edited by Arthur Ingler & Elisha A. Hoffman (Chicago, Illinois: Burning Bush, 1905).
Both Uncle Dave Macon (1924) and Grandpa Jones (1949) have recorded this song with minor variations in the lyrics.
