When peace like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to know
It is well, it is well, with my soul.It is well, (it is well),
With my soul, (with my soul)
It is well, it is well, with my soul.Text by Horatio Spafford

"I'll Fly Away"(#Roud 18437) is a #hymn written between 1929 and 1932 by #AlbertEBrumley and published in 1932 by the Hartford Music company in a collection titled Wonderful Message. Albert took three years to write the song after getting the idea while #pickingCotton in 1928. Over the years multiple derivative versions have been created and will be licensed for decades to come. Brumley's writing was influenced by the 1924 secular #ballad "#ThePrisonersSong".

#TIL the curate who wrote the #Hymn "Onward, Christian Soldiers" also wrote "The Book of the Were-Wolves"
AND the "training up" of his lower class teenage fiancée into suitable curate marriage material was probably part of the inspiration for #GeorgeBernardShaw 's " #Pygmalion" (they were friends in later life)
AND he taught classes with a pet bat on his shoulder
AND he's the ancestor of comedian #JoshWiddicombe

"Just a Closer Walk with Thee" is a traditional #gospel song and #jazzStandard that has been performed and recorded by many artists. Performed as either an instrumental or vocal, "A Closer Walk" is perhaps the most frequently played number in the #hymn and #dirge section of #traditionalNewOrleansJazz funerals.

The Amazing History of “Amazing Grace”
"Rathey points out that the hymn’s famous opening phrase, which focuses on salvation, may have been inspired by the influential seventeenth-century theologian John Bunyan (1628-1688)."

For those interested, I respectfully submit the following as a substitution for the first verse of "In the bleak midwinter" (I'll offer explanation in a thread below):
In the solemn winter
Creation aired a groan
Earth shed tears of turmoil
As God made us His home;
Waiting breathless,
Hope on hope, hope on hope,
In the solemn winter, long ago -
This week's Tune Tuesday theme is My Favorite Xmas Song.
My favorite is Hark the Herald Angels Sing.
Don't have a great example recording, but it's my favorite hymn and I love hearing it this time of year.
