In Amidons' book/CD 'Fifty-five Anthems for the Small Church Choir'. Tony Barrand gave Peter a copy of this song with a very simple harmonization. Peter kept the melody intact and came up with this harmonization, one of his first for the Guilford Community Church "9 0-Clock Choir", who often sing this at their Easter morning worship services. This Easter spiritual has its roots in the African American church. Here is another version of the spiritual, arranged by Jester Hairston.
